I eat a lot of different meats-- how fatty any meat is is relative to the amount of extra feed the animal receives and lays down as fat. Two years ago I bought 6 geese in Feb, dressed them and ate them. Each had a different amount of fat. Each one was delicious but, for the size, lacked sufficient meat to do it again.As a quick question, are ducks REALLY as greasy to eat as people say they are?
We were going to buy a goose for Christmas dinner. Pre-made it was $55.00 raw. $5.99/pound. I was in SHOCK.
Years ago I had a very good duck meal prepared by an elderly woman with sons that hunted; the best duck meal in my life. Long slow baking, crisp and tender. It was a domestic mallard kept, not hunted. SHe prepared it so the fat dripped off.
I guess the answer is "yes".
