Best way to cook a duck is ..........give it away.

My vote is for Teal- by far

Teal
Wood duck
Pintails only before the hit the salt water

Merganser and bluebills are nasty

But if you boil just about anything in crab boil you can eat it!

Here is a little kicker for the teal lovers and spoonie haters.

The BWT is more closely related to the spoonie than it is to the GWT.

Gwt is much better than bwt, but bwt is good too. No comparison to a spoonie, at least the ones in my area.

Now have you tried spoonie tongue? Now that is good.

I didn't think of it but maybe location might make a difference in taste.

I wonder if ducks where kind of like cattle and different feathers brought more also?

This is amazing considering the average household income working folks made at that time.

I like them all if cooked correctly. Now a different question would be which ducks are the most horrible to clean.... I'd say a tie between a hoodie and a ringneck.


OMG, this is the best slumber party ever!

Canvasback is the best eating duck period. At the times of the market hunting they were the most sought after and the most expensive to buy.
Followed by teal and mallard.

Black Bellied Tree Ducks are the best eating duck in the marsh.
