I do both. The majority I breast but I also always pluck a few of the early season ones as I like them roasted. To be honest the later birds shot below the seawall can be a bit rank so breasting is your best option. I usually stir fry them or curry them though sometimes they go in a pie with other various bits

Personally id pluck them! 50 mins in the oven covered at 130 degrees. If I breast anythin I slice it real fine, Slice an onion fine and fry it low heat until clear. Add a little garlic. Slice of bacon cut into small strips. Fry until bacon is almost cooked. Add the duck and put in two slices of toast in the toaster. When the toast pops take the duck off the heat. butter toast and spread your duck over it. ENJOY!!

i have to say , i normally marinate them in different kinds of chutney , or reggae reggae sauce , but i gave some ducks and geese to a couple of polish lads at work and they bought me some back to eat that had been smoked under cherry shavings and it tasted great ....
