News capsule

That white brick building across from the Dilworth Neighborhood Grill will soon be the new retail location of Meat & Fish Co. They’re retailers, wholesalers and caterers of high-end beef, fish, pork, game and exotic meats. Think Wagyu beef and caviar.

A target date hasn’t been set, but the owners expect it to open sometime in the fall. Interior construction is going on right now, and the floors should be put in within the next month. This building is in a high traffic area and is a solid addition to that part of Morehead Street.
