Our classic Peking duck, raised by Crescent Duck in Long Island, carries beautifully tender meat and mild duck game flavor. The meat takes on the aromas and flavors of any spices or fruits it is roasted with, and makes a wonderful centerpiece protein for any occasion.
For an amazing crispy skin, poke or score the skin lightly, so as to not cut the meat, before putting the duck in the oven, in order to allow some of the fat to render out beneath the skin during roasting.
Long Island duck is a white Peking breed, and the perfect introduction for anyone exploring duck for the first time. Compared to the Moulard breed, Long Island duck is milder in duck flavor and more forgiving: it can be slightly overcooked and still not become tough.
Sold as whole ducks ranging 5.5 to 6 lbs each, vacuum-packed.
Origin: New York State
