Post I'm not a goose hunter, so...
I shot a juvi speck on Wed - not a big bird, so I fillet the breast out like I do with the ducks - each breast 1/2 made a fillet a little bigger than a Mallard's, but almost 2X's thicker...
What would ya'll recommend for a recipe to cook these breast fillets?

We always fry them. Cut in small strips and tenderize them. Batter in flour and fry!

Wouldn't be a bad idea to marinate them either.

Everything is better fried!

Dude cook that whole thing. I usually pluck mine and put it a crock pot.

Butter fly season to taste and grill medium rare. Like a steak.

Wrap with a slice of bacon
Install toothpick

Add cold beer and good looking women...

I just ate some that had been brined then smoked. I was unbelievable good. This year I have had smoked duck several times and its hard to beat. I made a gumbo with a few and what a wonderful twist of flavor.

My brother is all about brining and smoking....He has one of those green eggs and has all the electronics and app for it. But he swears by brining before smoking.... says it's the key because it draws all the blood out and that tones down the gamey irony taste and allows you to taste the smokey flavor..... He uses all types of wood chips and only "smokes" it for about 20 minutes.

Black iron pot, bacon grease, onions, bell peppers,some garlic, flour, plucked bird,liquid to almost cover bird. Put all that shit together the right way and you've got something. I couldn't even think about breasting a spec but that's just me.

Thanks for all the replies - guess I'm going to have to head down to our place next to the San Bernard NWR to see if I can get some more geese - just to try some of ya'lls recipes... for now, since I only have the 2 breast 1/2's, I'll try the butterfly grilled... brick's pic is sure looking good :D
