Where to buy duck in Calgary?

I know I can get frozen utility grade (and whichever the less meaty variety is) whole ducks at Superstore and sometimes other chain groceries. Sunterra and Bon-Ton usually have packs of frozen duck breasts. Is there anywhere that regularly has fresh parts or whole ducks? Anywhere with legs, frozen or otherwise?

    You want http://www.sunworksfarm.com/....fresh and organic and they have a stall at the Farmer''s Market in currie barracks. For something like fresh duck I'd call ahead 877.393.3133

    Cheers,

      T&T Supermarket without a doubt.

      Same applies for rabbit - it's half the price there for the same product compared to the Farmers mkt, Bonton Meats etc etc

        Thanks. Now if only there were somewhere vaguely convenient for someone who lives deep in the SW and works at the uni!

        Where's "Rocky Mountain Game Meat," or is it even a consumer outlet? My google fu is weak.

          The breed is pekin, derived from the mallard, the preparation is "peking"
