These Duck legs are generously meaty, with lean, tasty flesh that’s as perfect pan-fried or roast as it is in a casserole. Supplied with the skin on and ready to cook.

100% British Duck

Duck leg works beautifully in ‘low and slow’ style recipes, such as braising, when the meat becomes so tender it will fall off the bone. It can also be roast, like Chicken or Turkey Legs, or pan-fried with superb results.

Store in fridge and consume within 2-3 days of receipt. Unsuitable for home freezing. All items are labelled with use by dates.

This Free-Range Duck comes from a carefully chosen poultry supplier, Creedy Carver, based at Merrifield Farm in Crediton, Devon. They pride themselves on producing top-quality poultry (Chickens as well as Ducks) whilst maintaining a very sympathetic approach to bird welfare. Their Free-Range Ducks start out in temperature-controlled brooder units; at 28 days old the Ducklings are moved to free-range arks, where the small flocks enjoy daytime access to grassy paddocks, as well as a little pond (actually a repurposed child’s paddling pool). The Ducklings are fed a low density, GM-free diet of corn, vegetable protein, minerals and vitamins, with no antibiotics or growth promoters. This allows the Ducklings to mature at their own, natural pace, and leads to superb quality meat with an outstanding flavour.

Duck is often regarded as being fairly fatty; while that may be true of the skin and breast, duck leg is actually much leaner, though it’s still rich in protein.
