    Only at restaurant. From memory was braised duck head. Also was ok.

    I don't think I'd do it with nz wild ones.

    Love the neck from Chinese roast duck. Even eat some of the bone if it's soft enough to chew. Haven't tried duck head. Duck feet, yes, very good but chicken feet give you more to eat.

    Actually, duck feet is better than chicken, geese feet is the best. In Chinese cuisine some those material kiwi throw away in fact is taste better than the main part of the animal. For example the grouper, I saw from fishing channels or platforms they only take fillet, but the head, the bone and the tail can make something really delicious.
    So be it

    Correct, at least as far as fish heads go. I don't eat fish tail but my Chinese wife persuaded me to try fish head many years ago. Mainly Snapper as that species has some flesh on the cheeks. That meat is much sweeter than that from the flanks. Only trouble with enjoying that is getting your mouth and tongue around numerous sharp bones in there. Takes some skill to avoid getting stabbed inside the mouth. For that reason I only eat the cheeks occasionally but it is delicious. Wifey will use heads and tails in thin soup. Also very good. Have also tried fish eyes but don't find them anything special.
    Speaking of duck, when I was still duck shooting wifey would stuff whole duck with Chinese stuffing and slowly wok cook
    until meat was tender enough to pull from the bone. Most delicious duck I have ever eaten and I do enjoy duck cooked just about any way.

    I am glad to know you enjoy the fish cheek and your wife `s cooking. The flesh under the cheek is always the best part, and then the belly, then the rest. In our culture, you can know if a kid or an adult has good family education or not, if they come from a rich tradition family or poor ones by watching them how they eat a fish over a dinner table. If they started from the belly without any concerns or respects to other people, then at least for me this will be the last dinner with him or her.

    For the sniper head, I used to stew it, slow cook for 30 mins+ then the sharp bones will not be that sharp anymore. Fish eyes is good for kids and elderly, it `s no taste but it `s health. When I was in Auckland, I tried to roast a whole game duck, but the build in oven in the house was too low, should use outdoor wood fire oven which I did `t have. I saw so many meats either wasted or went to pet food factory, that `s why I am working on a project to recycle those fine stuffs into export earning for New Zealanders.

    Thanks for like my cooking. Next time I will try to cook some deer guts if I could have any. Btw, comparing to 308, what `s the benefit of use 30.06 in NZ?
    So be it

    you will have no problem getting as many duck of goose feet/heads/necks/carcasses as your heart desires in another month n a bit..just ask and you shall recieve..... heck the fellas shooting canada geese often drop 99% of them into an offal hole as a fella can only eat so much.

    NZ Lamb rack (mint, Korean red pepper, salt, rub), spuds (boiled with salt and Korean pepper, then fried with a little oil), broccoline and carrots, plus a sauce (of garlic honey, chilli, black pepper and a bit of rum. Get boiling and turn off),

    Simple as and tasted bloody good.

    You can not beat NZ lamb. It's certainly the best in the world. (Second place, irish lamb - personal opinion....)


    Go the nz farmer!!

    Thank you all. Yeah, sorry for this. I brought it up was because your name is 30.06 and recently I found there are couple of second hand 30.06 rifles in GC, you know the old wood and blued ones. Right let `s focus on game cooking in here. The duck season is coming, wish I could have chance to get a Canadian geese.
    So be it
