Wholesale Meats and Fish

Wholesale Meats and Fish is the second album by the alternative rock band Letters to Cleo, released in 1995. The first single was "Awake".

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "'Little Rosa', the album's highlight, is '60s-influenced jangle-pop genius."

Entertainment Weekly opined that "too often singer Kay Hanley sounds like a petulant Juliana Hatfield on their soapy, overdramatic love songs."

The New York Times compared the album to its predecessor, calling it "the same alt-rock in a different package". It said that, while Hanley's "bright, clear delivery often lifts Letters to Cleo above college-band status, her happiness can become wearing".
