Duck Eggs


Very busy today, but I'm pleased to report that I was able to enjoy, rather than suffer through, my dinner tonight. I promise I'll recreate it tomorrow with a more extensive post and some pictures. One other quick point that came up in a conversation this afternoon: Why are fresh duck eggs impossible to find? Am I just looking in the wrong places? I have no trouble finding salted eggs or thousand-year eggs, but regular old duck eggs elude me. And if I were to find them, what would I do with them? Any help or advice is welcome.

  1. My best guess is just the difficulty of moving enough product to justify the regular sales and shipping of unpreserved eggs.

    Here are a few places that *do* sell fresh duck egg in the LA area:

    + South Pasadena Farmers Market
    + Balut Pateros (wholesaler of various duck eggs including fresh ones) (Westminster, CA)
    + Hot Vit Lon Long An ()Westminster, CA on Bolsa Ave)
    + Peter Schaner, Shaner Farms -- Santa Monica Farmers Market
    + The Ai Hoa Market on North Hill in LA -- possibly.
