Does anybody know where I can buy fresh duck eggs? I used to buy them at
a Chinese grocery store in Arlington but I'm hoping to find them closer
to Fairfax City. Any suggestions? (other than wise-quacks)

You might want to try either Whole Foods (the one off Fair Lakes Parkway, near West Ox Road) or Lotte supermarket in Chantilly.

Have you tried Super H on Fairfax Boulevard?

Any major Asian market will have them - just be careful not to get the salted duck eggs or the ones with the partial embryos

Yep, tried them and only chicken eggs. Thanks. Also to topchef: I haven't
tried Lotte yet but there's on near Fairfax Circle so I'll try there today
and Whole Foods tomorrow if no luck. I tried duck eggs for the first time
several years ago during a bad snowstorm and eggs and milk were sold out
at the Safeway. I went to the Chinese grocery at the corner of Columbia Pike
and Columbus St and they had duck eggs for .50 cents each and I bought four.
I told my wife and kids they were Chinese Chicken Surprise eggs and after everybody remarked about how delicious they were my daughter asked what the "Surprise" was. I said, "They aren't really chicken eggs." I thought she was going to kill me but I pointed out that until then she thought they were great
and had asked if we could get them again soon.

Nothing like a fried duck egg on top of a pile of pancakes. Yum! Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the advice. I'd like to try the salted variety just for curiosity
sake but don't think I could handle the embryos. :)

Lotte Asian Supermarket is at Fairfax Circle too. . .

A-woo-oo!

What kind of eggs are the most difficult to scrape off of a FCPD vehicle?

Just talked to Whole Foods and they got'em. YEAH!! $1.00 apiece and
well worth it.:) Thanks to all.

Hello,

I raise free range ducks in Shenandoah County. I sell duck eggs only. I can deliver to Herndon , Virginia for pick up there. I currently have 4 dozen fresh eggs ready to go! Please respond to max9@shentel.net $6.00 dozen

>$1.00 apiece and well worth it

PER EGG? I pick these up occasionally at farmer's markets and while they're more expensive, they're nowhere near that. What're you doing with them? I like them and all but I tend to treat them like chicken eggs, albeit big ones. Not sure I'd drop a dollar each on them.

how do you know if the duck eggs have partial embryos without cracking them?

LOL! Years ago I had to make a business trip to Culpeper with my boss
and several others. A half dozen cows were in the roadway and the driver
stopped and the other guys went into a panic. I got out of the car and
chased them off the road. My boss said, "You're far braver than me.
I'd be afraid a mean bull would attack me." I told him there weren't any
bulls in the herd and he said, "How could you tell?" I laughed my ass
off. City people...oh yeah....

Check the shoreline for duck nests. Some might have fresh eggs!

that's funny, heifers are mean too, when trying to protect the herd. city people
