    Does anyone have a good place for picking duck legs?

    I've gotten them cheap in the past at Grand Mart, but with their redesign, I don't think that is an option any longer.
    Other places I have looked:

    H-Mart
    Peoria Packing


    I'm stopping by Chicago Meat Market to pick up some fatback among other things and will check there as well, but I thought that I would seek advice here.

    Thanks

    I would try the half of the duck closest to the ground.

    Argyle China-Viet-town often has duck legs for sale in their markets.

    Chinatown on Cermak/Wentworth also has them for sale.

    I have purchased them from Paulina Meat Market in the past.

    I've had good luck at International Club, an asian foods "superstore". It used to be membership only a'la Costco, but I've always walked right in.

    4000 W 40th St.
    Chicago IL 60632
    773.927.0100

    It's just west of the Pulaski exit on the Stevenson. I'd call first to make sure they have 'em. They've got great prices on all the asian staples, especially if you can store / use up large amount.

    Budget an extra 30 - 45 minutes to browse and be prepared for crowds on the weekend. Whatever you do, don't park anywhere but in their lot; the "Lincoln Park Pirates" have an thriving outpost there....

    I was curious, so I tried there. They said they have breasts, but no legs.

    An update on the duck leg search...

    I first tried International Club but it turns out that they were in the midst of a clearance sale. Evidently they will be remodeling soon. In any case, they had only dry & canned foods. It did look like they had some pretty good deals, but I don't know how much would be left at this point (I was there last Saturday).

    Next stop was Chinatown. I think I hit just about all of the grocery stores in Chinatown but there was nary a duck leg to be seen. I did see plenty of frogs though... I admit that I may have missed a package of frozen legs in one of the freezers as a lot of the items were not labeled and not always easy to identify.

    After Chinatown, I decided to hit Argyle and several grocery stores in this area had duck legs (I got wise and called ahead first). I ended up picking up a couple of packages at a Thai grocery store on Broadway for $2.99/lb. The name of the store escapes me at the time but I will add it to the post when I get back home.
