Tips to Remove Duck Smell
- After cleaning the duck meat, before preparing this type of meat, you should use ginger and alcohol to eliminate the fishy smell. Rub the duck thoroughly with crushed ginger or massage it with alcohol, and the smell will be gone.
- If you don’t have ginger and alcohol at home, there is a simpler and cheaper way to remove the unpleasant odor of the duck: salt and vinegar. Mix them together and rub thoroughly inside and outside the duck several times; when you eat, there will be no bad smell.
- If vinegar is not available, you can substitute it with lemon.
- Additionally, you should cut off the part near the duck’s cloaca; if there is any black slimy substance left in the duck’s pores, it must be washed thoroughly because this is the main cause of the duck’s unpleasant smell.
