We have a good friend here in Rockport married to a super nice Australian lady. Marsha was visiting with her about Thanksgiving and was told they were having duck. So I have always found ducks to be what 3 - 4 lbs max, is that right? How many ducks to feed their family of 12, gotta be more than one, does it not?

Probably need a sack of Whataburgers to feed the people with sense enough not to eat a duck.

1 avg duck will probably only feed 3 normal eaters. So for 12, your looking at 3-4 minimum

Duck (farm raised) can be and is very tasty. But for that many yes 3+ would be needed. Might as well do a turkey at that point.

Smoked Farm raised Whole Duck on the smoker a few times. Injected the duck, then rubbed it yellow mustard and hit it with some MeatChurch rub. Then on the smoker at 220 degrees with Post Oak.

F a duck, and double F a goose. Now having said that, Peking duck done right is to die for, but I highly doubt you're getting that in Rockport. Good luck, take small bites, smile and tell them it was awesome, then go get some fast food on way home.

Save and render as much fat as possible. Fry potatoes or chicken wings.

Thank me later.

We used to buy roasted ducks at a chinese restaurant in Arlington. They usually had several hanging, along with other meats, in their front display. Always very good.

What does being a Texan have to do with eating or not eating duck?

You can easily feed six people with one duck as long as you have a lot of sides. Duck is super rich, and you don't want a lot of it. Two people for each breast, someone gets a leg quarter, and that's plenty.

Duck is one of those rare meats that can be great medium or well done.

For those that cook duck.........be sure and cook it on a cedar plank. When done, throw the duck away and eat the cedar plank.
