Pekin duck:
America’s Quintessential Duck

Pekin duck (aka Long Island Duckling) is the most farmed duck in North America and the duck consumers are most likely to find on restaurant menus and in grocery stores. Its classic "mild" flavor has broad appeal and is the taste that comes to mind when most people think of duck.

Pekin duck’s milder flavor makes it versatile. It works equally well for preparations as diverse as Peking Duck and Long Island Roast Duckling with cherry sauce. Pair Pekin duck with a variety of flavors and ingredients, from pungent Szechuan peppercorns and sharp mustards to savory herbs and sweet fruits.
