I like to use oyster stock, or at least what I can gather from shucking however many oysters I'm putting in the gumbo that weekend. I really think the trick is to cook it (duck & oyster gumbo)the day before and reheat it when your ready. Perhaps it's the way I make it, but it always seems so much better after the cool down, chill, & reheat process. Just my $0.02. G'luck

How long and at what temp do you roast the bones for the stock?

400 for about an hour. Can go longer though. I usually reach in there with some tongs and flop em over around the half way point.

Just don't boil the ducks like you mentioned.


I've done it before by boiling and it came out great. I agree roasting the bones is a better method but boiling the bones to make a stock still works good.

Question...if ducks were frozen...can leftover (if there is any) duck gumbo be frozen?

After roasting the bones how long do you boil for stock...about a hour?

And would it work if you smoked, roasted, and made stock the night before?

First gumbo I atempt

Thanks again

I would roast the ducks first instead of boiling them.

Then remove most of the meat before boiling the bones for the stock.

That way, you bring out the best flavor of the meat, yet get the roasted bone flavor for the stock as well.

Where does one go to buy duck in LA? (Specifically the Nola area). Been wanting to cook some duck breasts but a duck gumbo sounds amazing.

should I add the onions, carrots, and celery to the bones to roast everything together?

also, how long and at what temp should I roast 6 ducks? (smaller, I think they are grays and woodies)

The ducks were roasted last night, then I picked the meat this morning and the bones are in the oven. Will start the stock shortly.

Thanks again for the tips, yall

This stock smells as good as any gumbo I've made

About to make the roux with the drippings from roasting the ducks
