Default Where to Buy Duck Liver

Anyone know where I can buy some duck or goose liver?

Not Foie Gras, just regular duck liver. Can get chicken liver anywhere
but everywhere I ask for duck liver, they don't have it.

I'm in So. Cal.

Thanks

Yellow pages. Look up "meat". Pick up phone. Ask butcher.

Contrary to E. coast perceptions and realities, those things are not
common on the west coast.

In So. Cal. you will probably need to find a source for frozen. On the
east end of Lung Guyland, NY most every stupidmarket sells fresh duck
liver... and many area restuarants serve it in various ways, so why
stink up your house. I love liver, duck, chicken, calves, but I only
eat it out. Hint: liver should only be carefully broiled/grilled (do
not over cook)... any other cooking method ruins it, including saute.
Of course we're speaking ordinary duck liver, not force fed style (a
whole nother story).

Perhaps this will help (a neighbor not an hour from my door), it
mentions a CA purveyer:
http://www.hudsonvalleyfoiegras.com/nytimes.html

They have a store on line (pricey) but again, not plain old duck liver.
I'll stick to the fresh Lung Guyland fare I can get most anywhere on
the east end for the same price as stupidmarket chicken livers, fresh
duck eggs too, same price as chicken eggs by weight. Plenty of turkey
farms near Riverhead, NY... they sell fresh livers and eggs too...
Miklowski's on Rte 25A is where I used to buy my holiday bird. Best
grilled liver with bacon and smothered in onions is served at The
Harborside, Patchogue, NY... usta go for lunch; salad, soup, liver,
fries, and dessert cost $12.

I really miss Lung Guyland food... all these upstate hillybillys eat is
fast food and shit.

In N. Cal and S Cal, you should always include Ranch 99, and other large
Asian markets for something like this. I routinely buy packages of duck legs
for confit at my local oriental market. I'll bet you can find duck liver,
and at a reasonable price.

I assume you're from the West. Open your yellow pages to "meat" and tell me
what you find. If you claim to find nothing, you're either lying, or you
live in a very small town, and your results are the same as any small town,
anywhere.

When I looked for duck livers there, I never could find them. I think
they must be a special order thing.

The other place I look for something like this is a restaurant supply house.
They will sell
to you, though in minimum quantities. At the place I go to you have to buy
5lb duck livers at a time. As I said before, I have found them at local
oriental markets.

What are we supposed to see under "meat" that will take us to duck
liver? You're living in an E Coast world, my friend. If it's so easy
to find, I should be able to walk into my local butcher/chain store
butcher and buy it. That's not the case out here. I'm not lying and
I think you're delusional if you think we can do that.

In the Bay Area I'd ask Magnani. No idea re. Socal, sorry,
but there must be poultry-specialist butchers you can ask.

Fresh duck liver is certainly a treat. Better than any
"California foie gras" I've ever had. It would not surprise
me if, given the limited demand for and, therefore, production of
ducks in California, that the livers are scarce; perhaps
snapped up by restaurants making duck live flan and similar.

The chinese are real big on duck...... period.

I can even get duck _feet_ at MT!

I used roasted duck wings for my stock for Christmas dinner.

I feel truly blessed to have access to a good asian market in Austin. :-)
Granted, I have to drive 40 miles, but that's nothing in Texas.

In mine, I find "meat markets". This doesn't mean they'll all have duck
liver, but it *does* mean there are 5 places I can call, and I'll bet at
least one of them will be able to point me in the right direction, since
they know who supplies restaurants.

Warrensburg is nearly as far north of me as NYC is south. I looked at
their web site and they don't sell anything I can't buy at the local
stupidmarkets, just smoked provisions... I'm sure there's is good but
that's snacking food, not the kind of foods one should live on. In
fact there are many locals nearby that do their own smoked meats and
they are pretty good. But what I'm missing is good restaurant food,
preferably ethnic. I've already tried like ten different Chinese
restaurants that came highly recommended, all served crap, had no
relationship whatsoever to any Chinese food I have had even in the
neighborhood take outs downstate. Soon as I see the boiled yellow
rice with green peas they call fried I know it's more Puerto Rican than
Chinese... and wtf is boneless spare ribs, disgusting garbage I'd not
feed to a starving cat. And there are no seafood restaurants worth
their salt... if I want Mrs. Pauls I don't need to eat out.

It's lucky for me I know how to cook, but sometimes I want to be
serviced... and I'm willing to pay but not for lousy service and
disgusting food. In fact the only alcoholic drinks the bartenders
around here know how to prepare is popping the cap on a beer. The last
time I went out to eat I ordered a bloody mary, got a glass jam packed
with shaved ice with some pinkish red supposedly diluted tomato juice,
and so thick with horseradish couldn't get through the straw, no celery
stick and no vodka, least I couldn't detect any. I sent it back and
ordered a bottled bud, no glass. By the time I finished the second bud
the food still hadn''t arrived, I payed my bar tab and left.

There are just some things you can't get away from the downstate NYC area,
good pizza, chinese food, LI Duckling, etc.

Corning: Aniello's Pizza. Outstanding - as good as anything in NYC. That's
rare out this way. Also, Guida's, in the Rochester area.

Cook's Illustrated recommends D'artagnan as a mail order source of
poultry -
www.dartagnan.com.

You'd beter want it pretty badly, 'cause you're going to pay an arm
and a leg for it ($25 for 4 oz of Freanch; $89 for 1.3 - 1.5 lbs of
American; $112 for 2 lbs of Hudson Valley) plus next day FedEx or UPS.

I live not far south of Albany, in NY's Capitol district... I can be in
downtown Albany in about an hour.

Warrensburg is the god-forsaken town, it's smack dab in the middle of
the Adirondaks, truly in the middle of nowhere... if they didn't
maintain a web site no one would buy their products other than a few
hillybilly locals, probably not many buy from them on line either,
there are literally thousands of web sites where one can buy the same
kind of smoked provisons, not to mention that every small town for many
miles from here has a similar smoke house where one can go at their
leisure to pick, choose, and refuse in person... I'm sure the same type
of products exist within twenty miles of wherever one lives on this
planet... 'bout every burg in the southwest has someone doing smoked
rattlesnake.

There's money to be made in those little towns, but not many people try. In
Cranberry Lake, for instance, there's this bar/restaurant that looks like a
dump. Walk into the bar and you'll think it's a logging camp. But, the place
is run by a CIA grad who apparently paid attention. The food is outstanding,
but priced for the locals and it's open all year. Say the word "remoulade"
in some bars and you'll get your ass kicked. At that place, even the
toothless hillbillies will explain the various versions served there. There
are a few places like this in unexpected hamlets throughout the Finger
Lakes, too.
