Hooded Merganser Meat

Me and my buddy went hunting this afternoon and knocked down some woodies, couple mallards, and 2 hooded mergansers.
We breasted all of them, but I wasnt sure if mergansers were any good to eat.
TIA

Anything is good with cream cheese, jalapeno, and bacon wrapped around it...

Yeah, we always see them with coots and shovelers on catfish ponds. They are shite eaters. I would imagine that they taste like it...

no the best meat. But with some marinade and the previous stated recipes, your fine. I wouldn't waste them for sure...

Ive heard, like shovelers, they will eat grain early in the year. But depending on where they are, they will start eating fish later in the year. I say depending on where you are, because I would never eat one out of a crawfish pond or lake. Maybe in a rice field, but...... Probably not.

best eating duck out there! Better than teal and wood duck!
If you are married and you cook the mergansers in the house you likely won't be married after you are finished! Although mergansers taste simmilar to sardines they are pretty birds. I use them for dog training throughout the year.
Oh and before post nazi's get me a merganser isn't a duck.

this is how you cook morganser:
fix you a big glass of whiskey.
fill pot with water and boil on high.
add morgansers.
boil water all the way out.
fill pot again halfway with water.
boil water all the way out again.
fill pot 25% water.
when it comes to a boil:
THROW THE WHOLE frickING THING AWAY.

Mergansers are 'Neighbor Ducks.'
Clean em real nice. Package them good. Give em to your neighbor and tell your unknowing/unhunting neighbor he's getting some nice ducks.
It'll earn you a nice meal for free in the future.

nice.
for the record, to all, if a duck eats fish, it's not a duck that you want to eat.

sorry. i meant that's the only reason to cook my recipe. just so you can drink by the stove.

They make great target practice and good exercise for the dog. That is the end of the road for their usefullness. I throw them to the turtles.
Like mentioned before, They are not a duck and you do not add them to your daily duck limit.

Might be able to dice it and use it as an anchovy substitute on pizza

We have several that stay on our cities oxyidation ponds at night and fly to the lake we hunt in the morning. I'm sure they are flavorable.
Good duck to teach a dog to retrieve.
