About Duck, wild, breast, meat only, raw

The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is the wild duck from which nearly all domestic ducks descend, and duck meat is a rich, flavorful poultry enjoyed around the world. Unlike chicken, duck has dark, tender meat with a deep, savory taste and a generous layer of fat under the skin that crisps beautifully when cooked. Duck is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins.

It is the centerpiece of dishes like crispy Peking duck, French duck confit, and seared duck breast served pink, while the rendered fat is prized for roasting potatoes. Rich duck pairs well with sweet, tart flavors like orange, cherry, and plum, which cut its richness. Scoring the skin helps render the fat for a crisp finish. Choose plump birds with clean-smelling, unblemished skin, and store duck well chilled in the refrigerator, using it within a couple of days or freezing it.
