Best birds, specks and becrosh
This is very true. Except I've never eaten a becrosh but if I had it would definitely be the white ones with the big brown circle on their wing. "Heard" they were good

Yes about the white becrosh. And young yellow crowned night herons make a good gravy too

Rice field spoonies taste just like mallards.

Teal, woodies...the best ducks.
Specks...best waterfowl.
I hear canvasbacks are awesome. About to roast one this evening.

Any duck, cook them with all the fixins. Throw out the duck eat the fixins with rice.

It don't hardly matter what kind of duck when you put it in my gumbo with some good jalapeño smoked deer/ pork sausage . They all good! Don't try coots though except for livers and gizzards.

fat breasted spoons are way more juicy and tender than mallards.

i dont really care for the texture of spoonies but can see how they could be described as tender maybe even mushy. teal need to be seperated as the green wing are awesome blues have more of a liver taste. Specks are divine. Woodies are far and away best duck except mexican tree duck is great as well. same family of duck i believe. pintail and mallard are both great as well. grays, widgeons, black ducks , widgeons all very good. Agreed that all are good in a gumbo but be careful if you mix spoonies in with others as they will turn soft quicker. Nothing wrong with gallinules in a gumbo. Can say that i heard a gros beck is second only to chicken but cant verify.

Generally speaking..the smaller the duck...the more selective of what the duck can eat...and the better tasting.
I'm not fond of mallards at all...Typically all the spoonies I've ever shot had red breasts so I never kept them per the old wives tales...
Teal and woodies for ducks are my prefs for pot roasting. Greys, mottleds, mallards for gumbos.
Specks are the best goose for pot roasting....blues/snows..for gumbo.
