How to Choose Good Duck Meat

Choose ducks with smooth or sufficient feathers, select ducks that are mature with a round breast, and thick neck and belly skin.
You can pull the two duck wings together; if they interlace just right, then it’s a good choice.
For pre-prepared ducks, choose those with outer skin that is yellow and not overly dark, press your hand against it to feel firm meat with good elasticity.
