How to Choose Good Duck Meat

Choose ducks with smooth feathers or fully feathered, select ducks that are mature with a round breast, thick neck skin, and belly skin.
You can pull the two duck wings together; if they just cross each other perfectly, it’s a good choice.
For pre-prepared ducks, choose those with outer skin that is yellow but not too dark; when you press on the meat, it should feel firm and have good elasticity.
