Fried Specklebellies - Help Needed

I don't post to the F&D board often. Hello.
I've got two plucked specks(wild geese) in the fridge waiting on Thursday. From talking with a number of people, it's my understanding that its a hit or miss thing, meaning you have to get it right to make it taste good and not dry out.
I need step by step instructions and internal temps so I can do this right. I have never fried specklebellies before and I'm pretty excited about it.
Here is what I think I'm going to do, but I would like any advice.
3.5 minutes per pound until the internal temp of the breast is 155 degrees

So you going to whole fry a specklebelly like a turkey?
That has to be good. Maybe brine it first but I dint know. ..... I've never fried a goose.

I've never fried a whole goose...done a few ducks while I was frying turkeys and they were decent. You sure you don't want to roast those bad boys?

cut the breast like filets and cook them on the grill medium rare. serve with pepper, or blackberry jelly.
If you have to cook the whole goose I would roast it with red wine, chicken stock, veggies, and serve over rice.
Dont mess up The Flying Filet!

Eye, consider this, from the Recipe Book above...very good. It's a goose recipe that I modified for ducks...just bake 3 to 3.5 hours for the goose:
Roasted Ducks with Sausage and Apples (I call it Duck Ville Platte)
2 or 3 nice picked, whole ducks
1 lb good smoked sausage
1 large apple, cored and diced fine
1 medium onion, diced fine
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
Canola oil
Creole seasoning or salt, red and black peppers
1 cup water or chicken stock
Rub each duck with oil and season with Creole seasoning or season with salt, red and black pepper. In a Dutch oven, brown the well on all sides on medium heat .Add onion, apple, garlic, sausage, and water or stock. Cover tightly and bake for 2.5 hours at 325 degrees.Check the liquid after two hours and add another cup or so of stock or water as needed. Serve over LGR(too good for SGR).
This recipe is awesome with a whole, picked speckled belly, too. Cook him for 3 hours per the above recipe.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I have 12 whole plucked specks in the freezer right now so, they aren't a supper prized commodity like in other houses.
I want to fry these. Any help...

I'd rub them with yellow mustard and season liberally with Tony's. I'd inject each bird with a stick of butter, a T of Tony's, a 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and two T of Worchestershire sauce.
I'd heat my oil to 350 and fry until it is golden and floating...probably less than 3 minutes a pound.
