Eat the shot gun shells.
My son went out and killed 3 limits so I gotta mess of ducks. I dont know nothing bout ducks, but I know how to cook. I got recipes from every expert on ducks..... Maybe its me, but I now understand why dogs bring ducks back to their masters. CUZ THEY DONT WANT EM!!!! That is some nasty crap. The only thing edible was the gumbo. But dont eat the meat. Just the juice. The ducks we have tried so far have been green and blue wing teal. A couple of big ducks but I dont know what type. (no spoon bills) NASTY
If you want some come get em they are vacuum packed and ready to go.

Lol..... I like to filet the breast meat out and do the jalapeño, cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and cook on the pit.

I pot roast teal and sometimes wood ducks. To me big ducks taste like a FART and dry out before they become tender. They get gumbo or duck bombs.

Specks get deboned and stuffed and roasted.

Plucked ducks-mallards, greys, pintail, teal, woodies(assuming the pinfeathers aren't horrible); the skin makes the gravy and I throw the hearts in as well. I add onions, taters, bell peppers and carrots and theres never any meat left. Of course the 2 tools needed are a black iron pot with a wooden spoon! The rest of the ducks get breasted for bacon wrapped appetizers

I tried em on the grill wrapped in bacon and that didnt work. Do the species make a big difference? I gotta be cooking the right ducks the wrong way. They taste kinda like liver.

[Bluechip]

If you don't like liver, then quit eating them. Because they have that taste.....

Without a doubt. I mean I'd rather a chicken, but they're not that bad.

The liver taste is over cooked blood. Try not to cook as long and marinate them in milk. It helps draw the blood out.

Slice each brest in thirds and put crem cheese and jalapeños in the middle and wrap bacon. Try to make the bite sized. When bacon is cooked its done.

All Ducks are is a flying liver!!! But I like dat.

OK thanks, that answers a lot of my questions. Not what I had expected. But I will try other ways mentioned here.

I hate liver but I will eat ducks everyday of the week.

I got a cousin that boils his ducks in crab boil before he puts it in the gumbo. It's not bad.

[rustyb]

The gumbo was the best. The flavor was awesome. But the meat was not so good. Of all the ways we prepared it, that was the best.

[jbert22]

Well I've tried it several different ways and its just ok. But the last time I ate pot roasted duck it was UNREAL. Extremely good. Will post recipe if I can get it. Seems like most who have replied don't eat duck. Do you still kill them if you don't eat them?

[Shawn Braquet]

A citrus acid cuts the taste that y'all dont like just sayin, i like the flavor myself however

Why you eatin "Farts"?
Pot roast with Jimmy Dean sausage stuffing and atleast a 12 pak to finish them. Grilled with 5 days soak in Dales Seasoning cooked med rare. If you don't like either of these you must be a Muslim.

I started a thread in the Recipe section and I got a hard time because I don't like the ducky/liver taste. Anyway one good recipe to get rid of the liver flavor is
Sloppy Donalds
It works good on spoonies.
Take the duck breasts and boil them until tender.
Shred the meat and add your favorite barbecue sauce.
Heat it up and spread on a Poboy bun.
No ducky taste at all.
Besides gumbo, I also like to cook whole ducks in an oven bag.
About 275 degrees for 3 1/2- 4 hours. Moist and tender.
Pot roast is OK but to me, the oven bag is better.

Before you do anything, make sure all the blood clots are removed then soak them (brine) them in salt water for a day or 2, this removes the blood and some of the liver taste.

We went last Saturday and there were 2 spoonbills in the mix and they were gonna stomp them in the mud I breasted them and threw them in the pot with the 'good ducks' and they were all eaten. Some of my relatives are pretty much vegetarian hippies but they ate the fool out of those ducks.

If you are grilling the ducks, do not overcook, medium rare is the key

If you soak your duck breast in equal portions of olive oil, soy sauce, and what ever wine you like (I use cafe zinfindel) they are amazing. I let them sit over night in the marinade and wrap them in bacon and put them on the pit and they taste wonderful. The taste of the duck is completely transformed and I believe it taste like a good piece of steak. Good luck
