btw-I just bought some frozen duck and frog legs-different. The bad news is that posters say the frog legs taste like chicken. Recipes suggest the spices and milk marinade are necessary to get the most out of them. Is it worth it to look into the many different ways to cook it? Next is the duck. Fry, bake, or broil? What preparation?
Talk to me.
Frog legs?
Meh
Duck?
Yum! Dark meat.
French do them best.
The duck is good roasted (if cut up broil) with a wild rice stuffing, or lots of other ways. I always like frog’s legs fried with some good bacon and onions. or lots of other ways.
I just saw a nature show where they highlighted the only songbird in Scotland that fishes in the water for insect nymphs, minishrimp types, and tiny fish. They also make a nest in earth hidden by or behind a waterfall. Fishing songbirds and tree dwelling shrimp, what an amazing world.
Bake then broil pouring water and oil over the skin. Crispy duck.
I’d broil duck with the aluminum foil tenting to get the excess fat out without drying it out. Rotisserie works great just like on chicken, but keep an eye on the bottom pan for overflow.
Not a chef, just have friends who are.
Breeding shrimp for the aquarium set - cool. I remember a precursor to that, designed to separate foolish children from their money:

Not me though. I got the best cardboard Polaris submarine ever.
