Redheads, blue bills, ringnecks, golden eyes, canvasbacks are all darker meat. I think they taste great as well, but will soak in brine (salt water) min 48 hrs.
As far as spoonies....they taste just lile a mallard, cause they eat the same things as a mallard
In my experience it isn't the seasonings, soaking and marinating that makes a duck taste good. People tend to overcook them which makes them chewy. It just like cooking a steak in my opinion. Medium rare to Medium is the key to any recipe for duck.
Wasn't bad, I've cooked it better other ways (no marinades or anything either). I had stored the duck in italian dressing before reading this, so I didn't soak it in the salt water. That may have been why it didn't turn out that good.
