RE: Do you eat Northern Shovelers?
I have never had a problem with eating shovelers. This is how i prepare most of my ducks. Breast out the duck season them with salt, whole black pepper, and minced garlic. Place the breast in a slow cooker pour either chicken stock or beef stock (I prefer beef stock) over them about half inch over the meat. 2 oregano leaves, basil, half onion sliced, cook at low to medium heat for 3.5 hours. Once done slice the breast thin and serve with the sauce as a dip. I have made skeptics turn to lovers. Enjoy
