Try our lean, whole quail for their delicate game flavor and rich dark meat. They are spectacular when stuffed and roasted, and may be served singly as appetizers or paired together for entrées.
Our Coturnix-breed quail are raised in a free-range environment on natural, wholesome grains, with no antibiotics or hormones used, yielding a succulent, high-protein meat that is extremely lean and rich in color and flavor. Coturnix breed quail offer a richer flavor and higher moisture content than the more common Bobwhite breed. Also in its favor, quail meat is lower in fat and calories than chicken or turkey.
Our whole quail works well with all types of seasonings and marinades. Being naturally lean, quail is best cooked quickly, using high heat and cooked to medium rare to help keep them moist and tender.
Try them roasted, grilled, broiled or sautéed, or prepare as you would any poultry or game bird. We like to stuff quail with foie gras and mushrooms, or even wrap them in bacon before placing on a hot grill or the oven.
Serve them individually as an appetizer, along with a cold Rosé, or pair them together with another protein, like a tenderloin steak for an elegant main course. If you prefer to keep it in the game family, our lean buffalo medallions would make a perfect match.
