I don't get very many opportunities to shoot spoonies out here on the coast, most I've shot were over on the eastside. There they just got mixed in with all the others and mostly canned for burritos and hot-dishes. I picked up one out here the other day here on the coast and decided after hearing all the comments over the year on what a poor table duck they were to give them a fair test.
This morning I sliced the breasts cross-ways about a 1/4" thick and sauted them with some thin sliced onions, salt &pepper. Sliding them to the edges of the pan and breaking a couple eggs in the center and frying until the yokes were still runny. They were delicious, as good as any of the top table fare ducks. Looks like I won't pass on them when they come in.
How have you found them, was this one an anomaly?
