Re: duck
An old fashioned way of soaking ducks is in some very cold water with vinegar added. It's supposed to take some of the wild flavor out of it, too. For myself I just shoot the higher end birds like mallards or sprig but I will occasionally soak a bird this way if it's been frozen for a while.
The suggestions already posted here are very good. The best meat on a duck is on the legs so I never waste them. Try this......take the breasts from 4 birds and cut them up into bite size pieces. Brown the meat in a skillet then place it in a casserole dish. Open a couple of cans of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup and instead of mixing it with water use Burgundy wine. Mix it in a separate bowl then cover the meat. Bake the duck in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes and serve over rice. You can add the legs to the mixture but I save the legs and slow cook them like a pot roast until the meat is falling off the bone tender. Wash them down with a cold beer in front of a football or basketball game. Your brains will fall out.
BTW......This is an original recipe.
