[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 231782, member: 1305"] Well if you're trying to compare them to Mallard you're going to come up a little short. Spooner's are pretty much straight-up carnivorous eating almost entirely gastropods and other crustaceans that they filter feed generally off the surface where as something like a mallard is omnivorous but by fall is almost exclusively on plant matter. Weather that be duckweed or Sago pondweed in the water or whatever they're picking out of a field in the end you are what you eat and it definitely makes a distinct taste difference. Even the spoonbills kissing cousin aka the blue Wing teal although they feed similarly to The Spooner is far more vegetarian then carnivorous so once again leading to a distinct taste difference. In the end there's a reason why merganser taste like s*** and that's because their carnivorous. Now all that's said you throw them in a Crock-Pot with some cream of mushroom soup and I can't tell the damn difference. [/QUOTE]
