Pork shanks. Anyone have experience with them?

Somehow just had them for the first time last year at The Little Big Cup in Arnaudville. Damn they were good. They don’t serve them anymore for some reason on their Saturday buffet, but I’m thinking about finding some and cooking them myself.
Are they hard to find or cook?

Yes, they are hard to find. I used to be able to get them from Ready Portion. You may have to have a friend in the restaurant business order you some or give some good lead time to a good butcher to order ahead.
Cooking them are not hard. Slow and low.

I had my own cut and slow cooked them in the oven. I think I cooked them at 275 for 4 fours. It's been awhile. But absolutely delicious.
Scored the skin and rubbed with a concoction.

That looks fantastic. The shanks they served were much smaller than that. I put one on my plate because there was a black guy at a table near us devouring them like it was his last meal. I quickly realized why he was so enthusiastic about it. It was so tender and delicious.
They were about this size.

Slightly smaller pig, and that is just the end shank... The one above is basically a picnic ham

Those are also called pork or pig wings.

Had crispy pork knuckle (Schweinshaxen) in Germany with potato dumplings.
If you can get skin on prok shank and make the skin crispy, it's delicious!

They are huge in Bavaria. Most beer halls roast them a bit, then braise with a beer type mixture. Pretty damn good.

Those are from scratch potato dumplings in the pics.

Salted and smoked pork shanks are common in groceries usually at the far left of the wrapped meat case. These are usually sliced into 1" section for seasoning. Definitely not what you want for braising. Whole fresh pork shanks are not found that often. Complicating what you might actually find is which leg (front or rear), how the butcher cuts the ham and the size of the pig.
Ivertine's in BTR will cut some for you.
