r/Hunting on Reddit: Duck Vs Goose: which tastes better?
October 10, 2019 -
I was watching FLAIR on YouTube today and they had a taste test between duck and goose, and flair swore that GOOSE tastes better than DUCK.
This really threw me, Ive always heard and believed that goose is typically gross because its leaner and tougher. Although I have eaten goose before aside from just jerky, usually roasted in a crockpot. Duck on the other hand I've found to be fattier and has better flavor because of it.
I'm interested to know what other hunters think, is Flair crazy? Am I crazy? Have I been missing out on some God-teir meat? Let me know what you think.

Flair is an idiot dont watch that bullshit. Goose is tougher. Taste isn't necessarily different though. Both are great if grilled rare to med-rare

a lot of people over cook duck and goose, and just don't know what to do with it. When their meal comes out bad, then it must be bad meat. In reality it's bad cooking most of the time. Same deal with that store bought thanksgiving turkey that is so dry you need two glasses of water to eat it. It's not the turkey, it's the cook. It's just a personal preference thing. I'd give goose a very slight edge.

October 8, 2021 - When cooked to medium-rare, duck breast is a dream; moist, flavourful, and meaty in a tender way. Medium-rare goose breast comes across like a grass-fed sirloin steak; meaty, flavourful, and beefy.

Waterfowl Hunting - Do geese taste better than ducks? - Because ducks are gross! I shot a honker and am wondering if I should cook it or make jerkey out of it. I dispise the taste of ducks so I make them into jerky and I would hate to waste a goose if tastes like ducks. More on huntingnet.com

October 10, 2019How similar does goose taste to duck?
Goose is richer and sweeter. Goose breasts make great summer sausage and jerky. If roasted, slit the back in a few faces and set on a rack in a roasting pan to let the fat drain away. More on reddit.com

What Are the Health Benefits of Goose Meat?
June 16, 2024 - A young goose has tender meat and weighs anywhere between 12 and 14 pounds. If you buy goose meat, it can also come from a mature and spent breeder. Regardless, goose meat is flavorful and fatty, so it comes out best roasted. Although it is commonly referred to as ‘white meat,’ it has the color of dark meat.

September 23, 2025 - Both ducks and geese have dark red breast meat that should be cooked rare and if it doesn’t overcook, it tastes similar to beef.

September 11, 2014 - They are very skinny and useless for meat though. Someone mentioned muscovy ducks. They look, act, and taste differently from other breeds. They don't quack but they need a roost to sleep on at night. Some people don't even consider them a real duck. So do your research not just on duck or goose, but duck, goose, or muscovy.

July 14, 2012 - I like goose better. It's closer to turkey. I found duck too strongly flavored. It was like the darkest meat from the turkey times 10. Normally I avoid the dark meat on a turkey but it's edible and goose is about equal to that in flavor. I've actually seen a few people who like duck complain that goose lacks flavor and most of those people don't like chicken or turkey too well.

Good roast goose generally has more fat to meet ratio, so it is juicier than roast duck. However, in recent years, I would say that there are fewer and fewer places that do roast goose well. Most places make fairly mediocre roast goose, so you end up thinking roast goose is relatively average for its heftier price. I would say that good roast goose is better than good roast duck, but you need to find the right restaurant.
