How to choose fresh ducks
For live ducks
- You should choose ducks with shiny feathers, and the inner part should have no down feathers, with the outer feathers long and fully grown.
- When you hold the duck’s breast, if it feels plump, thick skin on the neck and belly indicates a good duck, the meat is not mushy.
- Observe the duck’s wings; if the two wings can cross each other, it is a mature duck, easy to pluck feathers and has a lot of meat.
- Do not choose ducks with frizzy feathers, a foul smell, or drooping posture, as these may be sick ducks, consuming them can harm your health.
For processed ducks
- Choose ducks with evenly colored light yellow skin, fresh pink-red meat, and a distinctive duck meat aroma.
- Press on the duck; if it feels firm and elastic, it is a good duck. Do not choose those that feel soft and mushy, have a foul smell, or are leaking juices, as these are old ducks with poor quality meat.
- Do not choose ducks that are too dark in color or have bruises and spots, as this indicates the duck meat is no longer fresh.

Prepare Duck Meat
To remove the unpleasant odor and slime, put 1 tablespoon of ginger powder and 1 tablespoon of salt into a bowl and mix well, then use the ginger-salt mixture to rub around the duck’s skin for 10 minutes.
After that, wash the duck thoroughly with water, drain, and use a knife to separate the meat from the duck.
Ways to Reduce the Odor of Duck Meat:
- Use salt, white wine, and crushed ginger to rub evenly on the duck for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Rub salt evenly on the duck, then use a halved lemon to rub over the duck again and rinse with water.
- Additionally, you can blanch the duck in boiling water for about 5 minutes to remove slime and fishy smell.
