How to choose fresh and delicious duck meat
For live ducks
- You should choose ducks with thick skin on the belly and neck, and when lifted, they should feel very heavy. These are the fat and delicious ducks.
- Avoid buying ducks with sagging bellies as these are ducks that have laid many eggs, and the meat will not be tasty because it will be tough and less enjoyable to eat.
- Additionally, when buying, you should pull the two duck wings together; if they just cross each other, then you should buy them.
For processed ducks
- Choose ducks that have just been freshly slaughtered, with the outer skin being a yellow color, not too dark, mottled, or with many bruises.
- Avoid buying ducks that deform when pressed on the meat, which may be due to water being injected. Good ducks will have firm meat and will spring back when pressed.
