 I like to shoot ducks and geese but I REALLY, REALLY don't like to eat them.  In fact I've mentioned more than once that webbed-footed critters aren't fit for human consumption.

I've tried grilled wrapped in bacon from Med-Rare to well done.  Picked and roasted.  Pan fried.  Deep fried.  Several iterations of Jerky, marinades, dipping sauces, and spices.

A buddy once made me some stir fry that was pretty good but honestly there was quite a bit of prep work and I'm honestly not going to do that much work very often.

As a result of the above, I haven't shot a duck in so long I can't remember when, in fact, most years I don't even buy a waterfowl license.

So I guess that's the long way around please post up some waterfowl recipes.

Pet jerky treats.  My dogs love them.  Looks just like jerky from a dehydrator with no seasoning.

I don not get why people do not like eating waterfowl, it is some of my favorite wild game. However, there really is no way that I am aware of to make diver ducks taste even somewhat appetizing. They are absolutely disgusting. All other ducks especially mallards, pintails, and teal are fit for consumption. Goose is excellent as well.

Just need to prepare it properly, and DO NOT OVERCOOK!!

 

Preperation: Once you breast out your birds, wash them really well and squeeze out any blood clots. The more blood you get out the better it will taste. After rinsing birds place them in a bowl with clean water and put in fridge. Change the water 2-3 times in 24 hours and rinse the breasts each time. This removes even more blood.  Trim off as much fat and silver/clear tissue as you can. Then the breasts are ready to freeze or cook!

Grilled Duck Recipe

Essies regular or Essies chipotle South American sauce enough to coat x amount of breasts well.

Marinate for 1-24 hours depending on how much time you have.

- teriyaki sauce would also work well if you cant find essies sauce

- Preheat grill for 5 minutes so it is nice and hot

- Grill breasts for approximately 5 minutes on each side- More or less time depending on your grill

- The trick is not to over or under cook. I like my waterfowl about medium-

-Once the meat is about medium take them off the heat, wrap them in tin foil and let them sit for 5 minutes- Very Important, it lets the juices redistribute!! After sitting, slice them up and ready to rock!

This is a really good way to prepare waterfowl as well, I also use this same recipe for ditch chickens. Never have added the cream though, might have to try that

It is not gumboish.  Don't put too much cream on the meat , just cover it and call it good.  This is my favorite pheasant recipe as well.  Make some mashed potatoes and cover with gravy.  I like to put both pheasants and mallards in at the same time.  Geese are the worst choice but still eatable.

 What does gnf/feds expect you to do with all that meat? 1 weekend of early goose season and you probably have enough meat to feed a small army.  They need to find a way to put the meat to good use in addition to human consumption.

My fav most often and the easiest is the bacon wrap version,but I also do some prep work,not much tho

1st,cube the breast meat in 1"cubes,then soak in coke,over night is the best,coke draws the blood out and sweetens and tenderizes the meat,step two,drain the coke,pat dry and season like a steak,back in the frig for a couple hours or over night,the longer in the fridge the more flavor you get.

When your ready to cook,marinate the meat then fire up the grill (I perfer charcoal and hickory chips),once the grill is fired up wrap the meat with smoked bacon,add a sliced water chess or a pepper slice for added flavor.

Late season mallards/geese,pick'em clean,pickup a "pot roast" season/bag and let'er buck,stuff the bird with sliced apple,onion or whatever fruit you have handy,nice and easy and the bird turns out great.

 Horsager, try this one would you, if you like sweet and sour chicken nuggets. It's very easy and quick to make.

Cube up meat, I like them about "two bites" size.
Coat in some sort of fish breading.
Beat up one egg and put it on a plate.
Coat your breaded chunks in egg.
Now coat the meat in panko bread crumbs. (make sure to do this, otherwise you end up with mushy crap, and not crispy nuggets)

Put some canola oil in a big pan and heat her up. Start putting in the meat. By the time you get your pan full, you can more than likely go back to where you started and start flipping. Don't overcook. Dip in your favorite sweet and sour sauce. I like the cheap Kraft for some reason......Easy, and good.


Made this one this year too. Basically I was just scrounging through the kitchen to burn up a few things and it turned out decent. 

1 can cream of mushroom
1 can cream of celery
1 packet Lipton onion and mushroom mix
Black pepper

Put her all in a low crockpot for 6-7 hours and eat. Now, you can get creative as you want with this one by adding veggies and whatnot. Again, easy and good.

Lastly, go buy some Allegro marinade. Google it. Mix up some Allegro, EVOO, red wine vinegar and some seasonings in a ziploc. Put cubed up chunks in bag and marinate overnight. Skewer and grill to MED RARE. The Allegro really does wonders to tenderizing that meat, and it doens't taste half bad either.

These are all very easy to make, and very much edible. Of course you can put some more work into it and make duck stroganoff, duck chili, jalapeno and cream cheese stuffed duck, etc etc etc...I eat a lot of waterfowl.

Also, process it, or have it processed. Other than it being a little mushier in texture as compared to venison, I cant ever tell a difference in taste between goose or deer sausage, goose or deer sticks, etc.
