Hey I tried the brine recipe on Huntfishcooks website. NOT BAD AT ALL!
My main duck recipe is this:
First - Soak my duck breasts in salt water, changing the water a couple times a day till the water has no red. When you got the red out of the water, cut up the breasts into about 2" cubes. Place them in a marinade of about a half can of coke, 1.5 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of dry sherry, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup of peanut oil. Put it all together in a zip lock bag or other container and mix it all up. Make sure you dissolve the sugar and honey or it won't penetrate the meat properly. Let the cubed breasts marinade about a half day.
Second - Go get some fresh jalapenos and onions from the store. Cut them up in 1" squares. Get all the seeds out of the jalapenos or you'll burn your mouth off. If you like burning hot food, leave them in there.
Third - When the breasts are done marinating, take them out and use toothpicks to put a piece of jalapeno and onion on the either side of the cube.
Fourth - Get your grill going. Lowest setting if you have a gas grill or indirect heat if you have a coal grill. Put them on the grill for about 3 - 4 minutes per side. You don't want them raw, but rare/med rare is about right. That's my standby. Good for geese too. The peanut oil is the key for wild meat in my opinion. Keeps it from drying out. I use it as a base for everything. Works great for deer dry rub seasonings too.

All lakes raise a foot when I step in the boat
pet milk? italian dressing? I like my ducks to taste like ducks! j/k we kill a 100's of snows and have to dress them up a lot to get em to taste good.
gabowman I may try that on some teal, sounds good, and duck jerkey is awesome, but real duck stew with cathead biscuits is unbeatable in my book, just finished the last of last weekends ducks and am goin' in the morning to get more for another stew, here's the recipe..
4 big ducks, i.e. mallards, pintail, etc... the duck fat makes the broth, but little ducks or fish ducks don't have the flavor or are too oily, pluck, gut, and cut head, wings, and feet, and put in big stew pot with 4 stalks of chopped celery, 1 chopped onion, and a few tablespoons of crushed red pepper
boil for 2 hours, adding water as necessary
cut up potatos, carrots
take ducks out and cool, add potatos and carrots
tear all the meat off the ducks and chop it up and throw it back in, cook on medium for another hour
bake big buttermilk biscuits
Eat!!!
