All puddleducks (mallard, teal, pintail, wigeon, gadwall) East of the Rockies that eat corn and beans are delicious... not like the fishy livery tasting ducks we have here in Western WA.  Wood ducks are a bitch to clean but very tasty too.  They have a nice nutty flavor from all the acorns they eat.

All puddlers taste very similar to me. I can't say that I didn't like mallards, teal, widgeon, or wood ducks ive eaten. Never eaten divers or geese

I've never eaten divers either.  I suspect there is a reason why I was taught to call them "*censored* ducks"......... ;)

The best eating duck on the west side is Gadwall, and all the ducks on the east side taste good

Best goose is Brant or Speckle bellies any where you find them

Teal for sure.  Only had honkers as far as geese goes so I can't comment there.

I agree 100%.  Hard to beat teal for quality eating.

Wood Duck all the way :drool:

Widgeon taste like crap on the OR coast after the second week of season, I think they start eating eal grass or something nasty.  Grainfed widgeon are better than mallard, IMO.

Mergansers taste fine, just have to cook them the right way, with a very flavorful sauce.  I do apple/onion curry with the divers.
