How it's used
番鴨 is specifically used to refer to the Muscovy duck, which is common in local markets and often served in traditional dishes like ginger duck. Unlike standard ducks, these are prized for their leaner meat and distinct texture. You will often hear this term when shopping at wet markets rather than in general conversation about birds.
