RaisaB Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi! Does anyone know where I can buy duck breasts locally? I have found online sources....but besides Wegman's occasionally carrying, don't have a clue. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoramargolis Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Balducci carries D'Artagnan duck breasts--same brand as Wegman's. The Giant in Arlington (across from Rockland's) carries a Canadian brand (?Maple Leaf)--best to get it on the day it's delivered because they sell out quickly. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it is Tuesday-Wednesday or Thursday. Best to call and talk to a meat dept. manager there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Maple leaf is the Tyson's chicken of the duck world. D'Artagnan sell many a type of duck breast. I do believe the Moullard is a byproduct of foie gras production if that is an issue for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Giant at Van Ness usually has duck breasts. I don't recall the brand. Whole Foods generally has frozen duck breasts, and I don't recall the brand of those either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry prof Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I suspect most of the local butchers have them (or can get them). I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Wagshal's, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Maple leaf is the Tyson's chicken of the duck world. D'Artagnan sell many a type of duck breast. I do believe the Moullard is a byproduct of foie gras production if that is an issue for you. Dinner last night was duck confit made from Maple Leaf duck legs I picked up at Wegman's. They were smallish, and pretty bland, compared to the Hudson Valley Moulard legs I've used before (these were Pekin ducks). Not a whole lot of duck flavor. I wouldn't bother trying the breasts.

Choirgirl21 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Whole Foods in Silver Spring carries locally sourced duck products, including breasts. I cooked some recently and they were quite good, but the breasts were very small fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Arrowine carries D'Artagnan duck breasts - I suspect a lot of upscale groceries do. Closer to you, maybe Whole Foods or Wegmans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dedrick Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Harvey's at Union Market and the poultry vendor at the south end of Eastern Market (can't remember the name) has them for sure. The other poultry vendor at Eastern Market may or may not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Harvey's at Union Market and the poultry vendor at the south end of Eastern Market (can't remember the name) has them for sure. The other poultry vendor at Eastern Market may or may not have them. Market Poultry (Mel Inman) at the northern end has duck, both whole and breast, as I recall. I don't recall where it's from.

agm Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The other option, if you don't mind frozen, is to buy a whole duck at any Asian market. Remove the breast, braise or confit the legs, and use the carcass for stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers2000 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I've also seen the D'Artagnan ones (along with duck fat) at Brookline in Cleveland Park from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
