Wild Duck – Oven Ready Mallard

Wild Duck is oh-so tasty and we at Primal Meats like it – a lot. Our oven-ready mallard is, of course, excellent for a whole host of reasons that tick our Paleo and Primal check boxes.

For starters, our wild duck is just that – wild.  It forages naturally in its environment which means that it has a balanced diet which meets the bird’s needs.  This passes on to us through a meat that has a high nutritional value.  It is packed with B vitamins, iron, pantothenic acid and potassium, high in protein and of course flavour!

Wild duck is a rich and flavoursome meat.  It has a good layer of fat which makes it ideal for roasting whole, as the fat renders down for basting.  Jointed, there’s so much you can do with the duck.

Recipe Recommendations:

This chargrilled duck breast recipe can easily be adapted for the Paleo diet, or simply season, wrap in streaky bacon and pan fry.  It’s fairly easy to render the duck fat and then confit the legs. and make a Paleo Cassoulet

Wild Game has many benefits but we feel it’s important to let you know that our game, like most, is shot with lead.

About Primal Meats

We aim to offer you nutrient dense meat from Farms who rear their animals to very high standards of welfare and manage their land in harmony with nature.
Our meats are perfect for those following diets based on ancestral wisdom as they are as close as possible to meats from the wild.

The beef, lamb, mutton and hogget are 100% grass fed and carry the “Pasture for life” logo, providing reassurance of nutrient quality and traceability amongst a world of misleading “grass fed meat” products. We offer certified organic or free-range chicken and our pork is organic raised (but not certified) and free to roam. Our wild game comes from estates across Scotland, the North of England and the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.
