  • In This video i show how to prepare and cook Canada Goose Breast,I start by breasting the bird out,then attempt to cook the breast like a steak( with very pleasing results),and serve it with a great,red wine and blackcurrant sauce.Considering this bird is not the most prized of the goose family it turned out fantastic.
    Please note this Goose was breasted out,but the remaining meat was not wasted.
    Many thanks.

    Hey Scott, try this when you skin another one. If you feel at the base of the throat, just at the top of the breast bone, you will notice a hollow spot. Pinch the skin there and lift just enough to make a slit with your knife. Once the slit is made you can slide your finger in and start to peel downwards. This method removes the need to pluck any feathers, thus minimizing the mess. Hope my tip helps.

    Those pesky Geese are abundant here in New York USA! They leave there droppings every we're in the parks. There as big , if not larger than a small dogs droppings! They show up with out a passport. Hissing at the children and chasing the old. It is time i open a restaurant and solve or at least diminish some of the problem. love the show always.

    Great vid as always. Not sure how often your prepare goose but next time try this: instead of plucking all the feathers out, like you said it's a pain in arse, soak a flannel or bit of rag in warm water and you can literally slide it down the bird and the feathers come out easy as pie.

    Hi, just wanted to share... shot my first goose this year and cooked it that day. left the meat on the bones but removed everything else. rubbed Dijon mustard and mayonnaise all over it to keep the bird moist and then wrapped it in bacon. put it in the oven after I set it over some sliced apples and pear. (cooked it to 180 deg internal temp) It came out beautiful.
    went to cut it and serve to some company (and the fellow I shot it with) but was told that if it bleeds (which it did) it is under done.
    since everything was timed to come out at the same time (veggies and potatoes) I was on a time crunch. ended up putting it in the microwave which totally ruined it and dried it out.
    I see here you just ate it rare. read your comments about that on your page. next time I know better!
    your food looks awesome. thanks for all the tips.

    Great video! I'm very much interested in Canada Goose hunting here in New Jersey and have been watching various videos on cleaning and preparing these birds. Some folks complain about Venison being gamey, etc., and Canada Goose has gotten a similar rap. But like Venison, I think the key to palatable Canada Goose is proper preparation and handling from the moment its harvested. Your video made me good and hungry!

This is what happens when those who don't understand wildlife or even farm animals, go about making laws.

Took a coffin sized ice chest because I had no idea. The guide stripped the breasts away so fast we didn't know what happened. We only ended up with 4 birds each. My buddy didn't want his so I certainly accepted the now 16 breast. Best damn meat I've ever had grilled. Dropped them into an Italian oil marinade and left them overnight, cooked medium rare on the propane grill. Again, the best damn meat I've ever cooked and eaten from a grill. I hear Sandhill Crane is even better. I would hunt them everyday if I could. Great video brah

    Well done Scott!!!! Perfectly done on the inside!!!! Never over cook fowl or big game past MR!!!!! Another good way to do them is season the breast the way you like and wrap them in bacon and put them on the grill or charbroiler and cook them MR also.I have cook Canada Geese many ways!!! Smoked, jerky, summer sausage, snack sticks, roasted, canned ect.!A help hit I do too take the silver skin off the outside of the breast is too lay the silver down and skin it like you would take the skin off a fish. Works pretty good that way and you can take a lot more off at one time instead of piece by piece.

      Canada geese are best dry plucked, trust me, I have picked hundreds of them as a younger man, now I only pluck the breast if I want to breast them with the skin on for a specific reason such as curing them into a prosciutto-like cut

      Any time! I grew up in an area where they would blacken the sky every morning and evening, shot my 1st 35 years ago and they have been a huge part of my life ever since ... to the point where I make my winter living carrying parties to go hunt them.
      Use to do tons of chickens too as a kid, those we always scalded.

    @mandtgrant Před rokem +2

    The most important thing to remember when serving Canada goose is to slice the meat thinner than the shot. Steel shot will break your tooth. P.S. roll the breasts in cracked pepper, pan fry as shown, but a little more to the rare side; slice thinly and serve over a spring green salad with a garlicy red wine vinaigrette

Now I know how to use it as a soup bird and I'm thrilled to see they're culinarily useful - so I guess joke's on my co-worker. Maybe I should bring some in to share...

    A good friend of mine tells a funny story about going duck hunting before Christmas and coming home with a load of geese, fourteen it was. He then proceeded to give a goose to each of his good buddies wives for their holiday dinner. He got a less than warm welcome for awhile after that fiasco. The point is, these birds fly thousands of miles a year and are nowhere near as fat as a nice mallard. They are hard to cook well. Nice demo on this gander.

      Have cooked Canada goose with a sous vide method, very good. Also good pounded out and cooked in similar fashion shown here (but obviously with faster cook time) but on direct flame of a gas or charcoal grill. I did not make a sauce. That would have been a nice enhancement. Much more tender pounded out.

    My parents have a small farm, and they usually have around 20 goose every year. Once we butcher them, we usually take hot water (ca. 75-80°C) and put them in there for around 2min with some dish soup. Move them in the water, so that every part of the skin will get some hot water on it. After this you take them out can the feathers will come off from the bird very easy....

    The way people do it up here in northern Manitoba, we pluck the whole goose and singe any remaining feathers. Then cut it all into pieces, every part except he feet and wings, then boil until fully cooked. We use oats (spices if you want) to make a nice tasty soup. tastes awesome. oh and of course we clean out the guts and stuff too. the heart is a delicacy and some people clean the gizzard and cook it too. you can also roast the whole thing. But only hunt and eat them during the spring time when they're nice and fat. lol

    • @dennell
      @dennell Před 7 lety

      You would define a rat as an animal first. If left alone you would have a rat problem, e.g. Running around your home looking for food as the competition for food is huge. This makes the animal so hungry they may bite the cheeks of babies whilst they sleep(common occurrence)... the animal could the cause damage such as chewing cables etc... it then becomes a pest that needs controlling. Birds also fit into this category when again they are left.

    • @Combat_Pyro
      @Combat_Pyro Před 6 lety +2

      Because they're over populated due to past laws forbidding killing them or their young. They also make nests and violently defend their nest wherever they decide to make them, which could be your front doorstep. They shit ALL over the place. They show up in droves of 50 or 60 and eat all the feed that you've laid out for your domesticated livestock and pets. They also are social with domestic geese and can spread avian flu and other diseases into your flock. PESTS

  • @buserror
    @buserror Před 7 lety

    Hey Scott, another way of cooking these (and many others) is to use very little oil to start with, and 'high fire' and turn the breast up/down as you do, but also 'sear' the sides. Make sure it's really seared all the way...
    THEN you lower the heat to about 1/2 and cover. You can still add your butter (won't burn anymore). Leave it for 4-5 minutes like that until happy.
    What it does is the 'hard skin' you create will keep all the juice in, and prevent it to dry out, you end up with a very juicy meat.
    Nice videos, thanks for posting!

      @MessiahComing Před 8 lety

      superskiier50 We have a migratory bird act that prohibits the hunting of protected animals. Apparently you can kill them now, but you have to get a specific permit, and you are usually only granted the permit if the bird is in an environment that it is not native to, and is causing damage. Additionally, the permit is only granted in a specific season.
      The penalty for killing one is jail time, and likely a heavy fine or seizure of assets.

    • @technowelt
      @technowelt Před 8 lety +17

      +Red Judas I'm not sure why this myth persist, but there is nothing special about Canada Geese here in Canada. The federal migratory bird hunting regulations treat Canada Geese the same as other migratory species (ducks, doves, snow geese, etc). The only exception is open season dates and bag/possession limits, but these vary for all game species.
      Obtaining a federal permit is very easy - walk in to a Canada Post office and buy one.

      In BC you can hunt Canada Geese in spring and fall. you just need to pay attention to when and where and be properly licensed. I hope no one treats your statement as the entire truth. I just came back from a hunt myself where I bagged a snow goose but I could have very well taken a Canada if the opportunity had been there.

    Always have had trouble cooking goose. The flavor is great, its the tenderness that is the tough part. What I do now with all my geese is actually cut the meat thin, marinade for 2 days, and place the meat on a dehydrator. Gooses makes excellent jerky, I mean really really good jerky.
