Duck is great so many ways if you take the time to learn how to cook them!!  As for coot, they are much better to eat than most give credit.

Here is a recipe I've been using for over a decade.  I haven't done coot with it but have done merganser with it.  I prepared one merganser with this recipe and fed it to 4 other hunters and they all said they would have eaten more.  I cooked up some goose breast meat at my first Harrison Club end-of-season BBQ and had 4 wives who said they normally don't eat goose ask me for the recipe.  Here is the recipe:

Waterfowl Nuggets*
Ingredients:
• Breast meat; cubed.
• Raw scrambled egg
• Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips; finely crushed
• Wingers Amazing Sauce
Preparation:
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Breast the waterfowl and remove all skin and fat.  Cut into 1 inch cubes.  Coat each cube in raw scrambled egg.
• Crush chips as finely as you can; a rolling pin works well for this.  Coat each egg dipped cube with crushed chips.  Place chip coated cubes on baking sheet.
• Place baking sheet in 350 degree oven for EXACTLEY 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and serve immediately with Wingers Amazing Sauce for dipping.

* This recipe will work with any waterfowl species, including merganser & coot.  Just be sure that ALL skin and fat have been removed before coating and cooking.
