Preparing duck for a vegetarian

Citizen Six

Hopefully the thread title lured you in. I've got four ducks, shot this morning, to prepare. Can anyone point me in the direction of how best to prepare them, probably for freezing the meat to consume later on? I've put them all in the fridge for now.

I think I may have frozen some whole in the past, for my father in law to deal with later on, but I've blocked it out of my memory.

If I just cut and save the breasts, is that enough?

Yes

I found a video online. Just separated the breasts on one of the birds. Found it tough going 😂

The video also showed how to prep the legs, but I turned it off once he was cutting through the tendon somewhere around the 'knee' joint.

All in the freezer now, two breasts and three full birds.

Not sure if it'll be any use but have you found or looked through the game recipe and tips thread, here.

No, but I'll take a look.

Did you find anything of any help.

Haven't looked through it just yet.
