Jerky idea sounds good. It is a shame there not a little better eating. Especially when your in an area that has a million of them. It sucks shooting ducks and not being able to do anything with them.
My friend eats bufflehead...he said all he does is breast them out and then grill them with lots of butter and bar-b-q sauce. It's great having someone who will actually eat those things!
Don't waste them, clean the breasts and bag them up and take them to the nearest butcher that handles deer and he can make them into snack sticks, and try the pepper one's there awesome.
A friend turned me on to them from the one's we shot and they were really good.
It is crucial to trim ALL the fat and silver skin from the breast.
Cute the breasts into bite sized cubes
Soak in salt water 24 hours, marinate 24 in terryaki sauce
then bread and fry them.
Or Soak 24 hours, cut into strips, season with cajun spices and
salt and make jerky in the smoker.
Wasn't actually considering Buffleheads as Seaducks..we breast them out and either grill them or stir fry them [smile]
Seeing more Scoters and Old Squaws then good ducks currently but, passing on them. If I can't eat em' I ain't wasting them..
The jerky or snack stix sound cool, see if the local deer butcher will do them up for me..
Thanks all...
