Once retrieved, hang by beak until stiff, then in the afternoon pluck and gut. Save the hearts as well as the livers if you can, they are both great eating. Everything into rubbish bags and into ice bath with beers.

Same treatment for next days ducks.

Home, everything into a 2:1 salt sugar brine for 2 days. Then drain, pat dry and vaccum pack.

Fuck I'm getting keen for the boom twack fellas!

Your salt sugar brine sounds like a great idea. How much water do you put in with the salt and sugar? Do you boil it or just stir in ?
