Hanahreum Recon Needed

[Fat Guy]

Next person to visit Hanahreum, would you please get me prices on duck? In particular, I'm interested in whether I can get just duck legs and wings there. Like, a whole lot of them. But I'd like to know the prices on whole ducks too.

[jpr54_]

I have not seen duck at Han Ah Reum-

Joanne

[Jason Perlow]

Yeah, its not common to Korean or Japanese cuisine.

Theres plenty of duck at the chinese market in river edge across from Fink's though.

I think Foodmart International has it too.

[Fat Guy]

Okay, then let me expand the recon request: I need a lot of duck legs, cheap. Where can I get them and what's the exact price?

[slkinsey]

I don't know the price, but I have always been able to find reasonably priced duck legs at the Chinese butcher on Bayard.

[menton1]

Yeah, its not common to Korean or Japanese cuisine.

By Chinese Market, do you mean the Korean Supermarket that used to be Shop Rite? Or is there a Chinese market nearby?

[howard88]

I have been buying duck legs and thighs for $1.99 per package on sale at shoprite. This is D'Artagnan and it is on sale a lot ( every other week) in Northwest Jersey. Excellent quality.

[Fat Guy]

Howard, how much is in a package, do you know?

[howard88]

I don't want to give you inaccurate information. I am thinking 12oz. I just weighed one on a very cheap scale, already cooked and it came in at 9oz.

I mean the Chinese supermarket across the street from Fink's on Kinderkamack. I forgt the name, but its definitely Chinese not Korean.

[tommy]

King Fung. mostly chinese for sure.

I personally would not buy any meat from the chinese market across the street from fink's-

the last time i went into the store the smell was awful-

i think they need to upgrade their sanitation procedures-it was so bad i almost called the health department-

[tommy]

i agree. the place reeked of fish. i stay clear.

[Fat Guy]

Steve

Are we talking both legs and both thighs, or one leg and one thigh?

[Nick]

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do with all these duck legs?

[Fat Guy]

Eat them!

You guys are just too picky, lol.

That's ironic... in Caldwell, there's a Shop Rite that used to be a Chinese restaurant.

[Nick]

Eat them!

I kind of figured that. On the other hand, I was thinking you might be making something special for Momo.

I don't know if it's Korean or Chinese, they have a lot of Korean products in there, and a lot of Korean ad postings in the doorway on the way out-- regardless, you can only buy stuff in bottles or cans there, the place has been cited numerous times by the health department-- I think it was even shut down for a few days a while ago...

Wow, cassoulet-- lots of beans... They say they invented the recipe during the hundred-years war...

I had a delicious one in Carcassonne, France-- but after you eat it you are just about paralyzed from the tremendous quantities of beans, duck fat, and pork fat. It is tasty though. The locals there say they eat it 3 times a week!

(French paradox?)

[howard88]

Steve:

One leg with attached thigh. I have used them for confit and pan seared, finished in a low oven. When on sale its a good way to go if you don't want to cook a whole duck.

[tommy]

i stopped at han ah reum (the one in Little Fairy) today and looked. as suspected, they don't seem to have any duck products, although they have every part of the chicken and pig that you could ever want.

They don't have any duck legs at the Little Ferry Hanahreum because yesterday I bought all 18 of them.

you're joking.

where were they? i looked in all of the meat bins and the butcher area, and didn't see duck of any sort.

good to know though.
