Have not bought one of those trimmed flats. I am guessing it is
trimmed. Personal opinion, they trim them, they ruin them.

Have heard that they can be barbecued, but need fatty bacon on top as it
cooks.

They are a nice looking piece of meat for pictorial purposes. But
without some fat, it's not gonna que worth a damn.

Or what Steve said!!! Go get some chicken.
