poontang Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Do they really taste as bad as some people say? I shot a couple on Sunday, but unsure on the best way to cook them. Most people i speak to reckon they taste pretty rank. I've got fairly good guts, but i'd like to keep them inside me if i can :blink: Any ideas much appreciated.

henry d Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Soak overnight in milk, Clarissa Dickson-Wright told me it took the "Esturine" flavour away. However since then I haven`t shot one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin vs Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The're not that bad,take the breasts off and fry them in olive oil and a little garlic, it's a simple way to do them without any hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thank you gentlemen, some food for thought there Henry, interesting about the milk. I had heard that before, apparently it has to be full fat, so think i may give that a try and see how it goes. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The last one I ate was delicious just plain roasted. I took the breasts off the cooked carcasse, shredded them with a fork and had hot wigeon sandwiches with cranberry sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wigeon around here at the moment will be fine as they have only just arrived, come the end of december they will be awful and the only thing I do with them is heavily marinate and do as Aromatic crispy duck. This thread has just reminded me I have one hanging in the garage from sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
