Domestic ducks tend to be fatter and have paler flesh. Wild duck flavour vary greatly depending on sub-species and diet - some people even claim terroir. The best rating are pintails and teal.

In general they are more like steak than poultry. If over cooked they taste like old Oliver - not good at all. Cooking wild fowl is a bit of an art, or you easily be put off. We live them....
