- Is Muscovy duck breast worth the price?
- If you want lean, steak-like duck without antibiotics, yes. At $94.99 at D'Artagnan as of November 5, 2026, it is a premium buy, and no second store lists it new to undercut that price.
- How does Muscovy compare with Pekin duck?
- Muscovy is leaner, with up to 40% less fat than Pekin, and has redder, fuller-flavored meat. Pekin is fattier and more forgiving, so it suits roasting whole better.
- How should I cook it?
- Score the thin skin, sear skin-side down in a cold pan, then finish to medium rare, about 130°F. It also works sous vide, grilled or pan-roasted. Avoid cooking past medium, which makes it dry.
- What comes in the pack?
- Two whole boneless breasts per pack, about 8 oz each, shipped frozen. The meat is raw and needs cooking.
- Is it really antibiotic-free?
- Yes. The ducks are raised with no antibiotics or hormones from birth on a vegetarian diet of corn, soy, wheat and alfalfa on a California farm.
- When is the price lowest?
- There is only one new listing, so discounts are rare. Watch for site-wide sales at D'Artagnan rather than expecting a lower competing price.
