ducks are very tasty!  Geese makes great jerkey.  This year I plan to grind a lot of them up and do burger or sausage.

Try it, you'll get hooked on water fowl!!!

I dont mind duck meat, maybe its because im eating something that I harvested myself. Adding extra value to the meal. This year i started jerkying out my duck and it turned out pretty good. Good enough to wear I like to eat it. The worst part for me is the smell of it when i first open the bag after it is thawed out. Makes me gag.

If i am just cooking up my duck, i cut it into small pieces. brown each side in a pan and then add some cream of mushroom and serve over rice. I may not enjoy eating my ducks but i do enjoy hunting them so i owe it to the animal to eat them, so i do

Make some duck fajita out of it.  Cook on a shishkabob with other goodies. It's all good.

Duck is basically a flying steak, and the trick is to treat duck like steak. Cook it like chicken and it will taste like schlitt.

The best way I found is slice the breasts into strips and throw about a teaspoon of butter in a pan with lemon pepper and fry them up. :drool:

Heat some olive oil in a frying pan to med high. Melt a cube of the Oriental Yellow Curry that you can buy in any grocery store and sear the meat quickly. Add the remaining curry cubes and the reccomended amount of water (this make a nice curry base/sauce) While doing this make some white rice on the side and place a scoop of rice on a plate and serve a scoop of the duck curry over the rice. You can't go wrong  ;).

Haven't duck hunted for a few years.  Don't shoot shovelers, mergansers or buffleheads unless you want a mount, IMHO.  Can't speak for sea ducks, but all the other freshwater ducks are good.  

I usually eat the breasts only, which is probably 90% of the meat on a duck carcass.  I will pluck and bake teal and mallards if they have a nice layer of light yellow fat over the breast - if it's thin and orange fat, cut that off (they are then catabolizing the fat, in nutritional stress status, and it does not taste good).  

Iceman is right, if you are cooking duck, treat it like venison, not chicken.  Hot and fast, medium rare, grill, skillet or broil, with a coat of olive oil or butter, salt and pepper are good, also garlic, ginger, soy marinades.  Otherwise, slow, low moist heat, 8 hours in a crock pot or 200-250 degree oven will do wonders (latter for the fatty roasters).  

Ducks are good to eat, they are easy to ruin, and take more effort to enjoy eating them.  
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I went for pan seared in fig sauce with steamed asparagus.  After all that work, eating them seemed like the right thing to do.

I try and eat as many as I can fresh without freezing.  I've found 2 good ways to cook them.  The first is take the breasts and butterfly them open, put a small peice of cream cheese and a jalapeno in the pocket, then sprinkle the outside with Montreal Chicken seasoning, then wrap with bacon and put onto a hot grill for 3-4 minutes per side, this is an excellent way to eat puddle ducks, I've had people who say they dont like duck and tried this and they like it.  The second way to make it is to make it into a gumbo, their are a lot of recipes for gumbo but they are all about the same.  Just google duck gumbo or chicken gumbo recipes (replace the chicken with duck) and follow them.  The ones that I do end up freezing I take to the butcher at the end of the season and have them made into pepperoni sticks.  Nothing pisses me off more than when people clean their freezer out and throw their old ducks (or any game) away because its been in their for a year, if this happens just bring it to a butcher and have them make pepperoni sticks.

I'll 2nd the duck Taco suggestion.  It's good.  I call them "Ducko's".  Duck and goose also Teriyaki up well on the BBQ.  Steak the breasts out, cook hot and fast but don't over cook.  During years of large quantity harvests I've taken to having specialty meats made with them.  They include duck pepperoni, duck dogs (polish sausage), and duck lanjager.  All three of which are extremely tasty.  I've shared them with friends that previously were turned off to the taste of duck and now have changed their minds.

I'll put in my vote for making jerky.  I did it for the firs time with my geese the last weekend of the season, and it was awesome.

the mallards I shoot, I like to breast them out and fry them up or I will inject them throw some apples or oranges in the inside and bake them in a bag.  They turn out really good.  The geese I typically smoke them or make jerky and they remainder get turned into pepperoni and breakfast saucage.

 Personally, it is somewhat like eating mud most of the time. Some of the big, grain-fed mallards that migrate down the east-side can taste pretty good. I have always made jerky with mine and that turns out OK.

They are awesome in the smoker and in the barbecue as well as the frying pan. If you get a late-season, corn-fed northern mallard, pluck it and smoke it with apples and onions in the cavity. thats my personal favorite. Otherwise, cook it like you would beef or venison. many think duck is greasy, and it is if its farmed, but very lean when shot in the wild. love it and it will love you back

I hear way too many people say that they dont like the taste of ducks, but they keep on hunting them.  I wonder how many end up in the garbage?  Personally I like 'em.  I make them into jerky and rumaki mostly.

Duck Kabobs
~ 4 mallard breasts, cut into 1 inch chunks
~ bacon
~ salt and pepper
~ garlic powder
~ fresh mushrooms
~ green pepper, sliced into large pieces
~ pineapple, chunked
~ your favorite bbq sauce 
 
Season the duck to taste with salt, pepper and garlic.
Wrap each chunk of duck with a small slice of bacon.
Place on skewers so that the bacon is held in place.
Fill each skewer alternating the duck, mushrooms, green peppers and pineapple.
Grill or broil over medium heat until the bacon is cooked. Baste with the bbq sauce.

For the best results just simply substitute the 4 mallard breasts with 2 lb beef rump roast.  :chuckle:

This one doesnt sound too bad.

Duck Chili
~ 2 lb's duck breasts, cubed
~ 6 cloves garlic, minced
~ 6 medium onions, chopped
~ 5 green peppers, chopped
~ 2 cans (16 oz) tomato sauce
~ 8 red peppers
~ 4 or 5 chili peppers, jalapeno, etc., chopped
~ 1 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
~ 2 tbsp chili powder
~ 1 tbsp cumin
~ 1 tsp cayenne pepper
~ 1 tsp salt
~ 1 can red kidney beans, drained
~ 1 can white beans, drained 
 
In a large skillet or dutch oven, cook the duck with the garlic, onions and green peppers until done.
Add the remaining ingredients except the beans.
Simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.
Add the beans and simmer 20 minutes longer.

But dont forget, to really spice up the dish just substitute the 2 lbs of duck with 2 lbs of beef tip roast.  :chuckle:

I love duck! floured and fried, BBQ, you name it! It is great!!! Not a big fan of geese. I usually have summer sausage or peperoni made out of them and then it is great. I believe I could serve duck to anyone that likes deer or elk and they would love it.

If it's considered a game critter or fish I eat it. Only exception I draw on shooting and eating is varmints.
Only thing I shot that I did not like was a wolf eel other wise I've eaten all my game whether it flies, swims, walks or crawls.

When you get home to clean them, find the veins/arteries  that run through out the meat and push all the blood out, makes a world of difference, especially with divers. Then small chunks and wrap about a 1/3 to 1/2 strip of bacon on them and cook em on low heat over the grill. Don't over cook. Everyone I've feed this to likes it. Also it's great for just about any meat.

I love duck. I like to take my duck and goose meat, add some Montreal Steak seasoning, and cook it medium rare, or even just rare, the way I would cook a regular beef steak, and have it with regular fixin's like corn and mashed potatoes.

in fact i'm out of goose and duck meat and i'm craving some.

Actually, I am glad alot of guys think duck tastes like doo doo. the last thing we need is more guys in the swamp....

A duck is basically a flying steak, treat it as such.

       Come to the oregon waterfowl festival Aug 15-16th. Outdoor cooking world will be doing demos on how to prepare and cook ducks and geese.
      But one of my favorites is to marinade meat in italian dressing, cut meat in to small pieces, wrap piece of duck around a jalopeno with cream cheese, then wrap a piece of bacon around the duck, stick a toothpick through and bake on 350 till done to liking.

I suggest making duck sausage. Its nice to be able to just freeze all of your duck meat after a hunt and bring it all in at the end of the year. I think that it tastes better then deer sausage just make sure to clean out your breasts well so you don't bite into very many pellets.
