Why Muscovy and Pekin Duck Meat Deserve a Spot on Your Plate
The Rise of Duck on the Dinner Table
Duck meat isn’t just for fancy French restaurants anymore. Across the U.S., more families, chefs, and health-conscious eaters are discovering the deep flavor and nutritional value of Muscovy duck meat and Pekin duck meat. At La Plume Meats, we believe good food should be flavorful, nourishing, and responsibly raised. That’s why we focus on pasture-raised, small-batch processed poultry—especially ducks.
Here’s what sets Muscovy and Pekin duck apart—and why they might be your next favorite meat.
Muscovy Duck Meat: Rich Flavor, Lean Profile
Muscovy ducks are a different breed—literally. They’re not descended from Mallards like most domestic ducks, which gives their meat a unique edge:
1. Beef-like in texture with a deep red hue, Muscovy duck meat is often compared to roast beef or veal.
2. Naturally lean—Muscovies have less fat than other duck breeds, making them ideal for those looking to cut back on greasy cuts.
3. Subtle, rich flavor that pairs well with both sweet glazes and savory herb rubs.
When you order processed Muscovy duck from a source like La Plume Meats, you’re getting a premium, free ranged product, raised with care and respect for the bird.
Pekin Duck Meat: Tender, Juicy, Classic
Pekin ducks—sometimes called American Pekin or Long Island ducks—are the most common meat duck in the U.S. But don’t let that fool you; not all Pekin duck is raised the same.
Our processed Pekin duck is:
1. Pasture-raised, never confined to tiny barns.
2. Tender and mild in flavor—perfect for roasting, grilling, or shredding in tacos and stir-fries.
3. A favorite for chefs who want consistency, moisture, and a familiar duck flavor.
The juicy white meat and crispy skin potential of Pekin duck make it a showstopper for dinner parties or a unique alternative to chicken at home.
