I like Teal and Woodies best but any "Puddler" is okay by me. The main issue for any duck when it comes to taste is what have they been eating. Even Divers are tasty if they have been feasting on Rice or other grains. But you have to actually shoot Divers to discover that sort of thing and I let them pass. LOL

Best eating duck is the one sitting on my plate.
The secret to tasty duck is aging the bird before cleaning. A week or two in the fridge before breasting works wonders.

Best three ducks I've eaten
#1 Canvasback #2 Pintail #3 Teal
I've cooked and ate it all different ways and by far the best is plucked and roasted with a red currant sauce...recipe from honest-food.net
Thanks for linking that site. There's some good stuff there.

We ate canvas backs, pintails, malards, mergansers, and I think widgeons... they all were about the same to me. We later tried coots and found them to also be about the same.

You need to try woodies and teal. My list would be woodies, teal, most others except merganzer and coots. Those go in chili or gumbo.

I like mallards. I make a whole boneless duck out of them and use the bones to make my stock.
I'd take any of them in duck and sausage gumbo.

TEAL and Wood Ducks are my fav. Mallards, Widgeons, Pins are next....all about the same. Any duck you cook do it MED RARE! Or, just eat your boot.
