For the fifty years I've been duck hunting, everybody I know says mergansers and other fish ducks are not good to eat. Nobody I know has ever eaten one. Does anybody know, for sure, first hand, about this?

I tried one last year. Now the only time they get shot is when the boys shoot them. But they have to eat em.

A buddy tried cooking one. He could only get halfway through and had to throw it out.

From what I've been told it all depends on how hungry you are.

First year I started duck hunting, I shot one. We have tons of them. I felt bad, the guy I was with told me they're nasty to eat. I figured I'd try it out and if not give it to the dog. Couldn't cook it, one nasty bird. Now it's a free pass for them.
