How Long In The Fridge?

[slipper 116]

Just curious on how long pheasant and duck breasts will be ok in the fridge?

As long as they were put in fresh and were kept at a stable temperature, I would still eat after 2 weeks no problem. But that is just me, I am not telling you to do that. (Just covering my ass from a claim.)

Duck you gotta be a bit more careful, pheasants, when we've had cooler winters down here in the sw, I've hung them a fortnight on the shed door and they've been proper. In the fridge not bunched up two weeks is fine imo.

Bet you've got an exciting fridge there tiercel.....

 

 

I'd probably have a go up to a week. I'd freeze if I wanted to leave them longer, saying that I sure they'd be fine as tiercel said....he said it first though and I think that makes him liable. I love a 21 day matured steak , not so keen on poultry, only hang a pheasant for 2 days don't know how anyone could eat one thats dropped off its head, lol.

Quite a few years ago, I used to sell rabbits to a fish monger,who used to sell game as well. I used to get pheasants off him that had been hanging in the market for at least two weeks, and they were green. But they were the best tasting pheasants ever, cold. They tasted disgusting warm, but once they cooled down they were absolutely gorgeous, and even nicer as they were free and supposed to be for ferret food.

Use your eyes and nose, if it looks or smells off it probably is

in cold weather i always hang pheasants till they look septic, always pluck ,draw and remove tendons as well ,its the way i was taught as a kid when every bit was precious .
