View Full Version : Duck Eggs - anybody know where I can buy them?
JonJParr 24-02-2005, 12:33 My girlfriend and I are having friends over to stay this weekend- haven't seen them for ages and we're having a weekend of fine wine and good food (I'm doing the cooking AND wine selection).
I want to cook scrambled duck egg with black truffle for breakfast on Saturday morning (served with a glass of fine Bordeaux- and no, it's never to early for Bordeaux). Just been over to Waitrose and apparently they don't sell duck eggs! Anybody got any ideas?
They used to sell them in Sheffield fish market
Not sure whether they still do.

valentine 24-02-2005, 12:39 There is a sandwich shop/deli at Sheffield Lane Top that stocks them sometimes. Can't remember the name but it is just below the Netto
SaxonLeigh 24-02-2005, 12:47 there is a family in high green who sell duck eggs. you go down westwood road (georgie lane) towards the tip & westwood dam & there is a row of houses in the dip before the bridge, they sell duck eggs there, very nice they are too.
They've always sold them in Castle Market on several of the stalls. I'm sure they still do.
I'm sure I got some from Waitrose, also from Heeley City Farm.

When did you get them from Waitrose Nick? I even asked someone and she said they didn't stock them.
I'm sure I did, I have been looking for them for ages, I think it would have been just after they opened.
I can't think of anywhere else I would have got them.
These are them : http://www.deansfoods.com/pages/4_ChurchManor.htm
Not particularly handy but the place to get eggs of all kinds at great prices is Skidmores in Bakewell
Do people REALY eat duck eggs ? do they quack open the same as regular eggs, how do they taste ?
I saw some in Waitrose a few weeks ago. I remember cos I was saying I don't think I coudl eat them, it seems odd in a way. Don't ask why, I'm odd.
They are more eggy than chicken eggs, the yolk is more fatty and rich. They just taste much better. Apparantly swans eggs are the best but I bet they are realy difficult to get.

I'll second that! Duck eggs are fantastic - they make omelettes to die for.
cgksheff 24-02-2005, 14:42 Tai Sun Chinese Supermarket behind Woolworths in town.
...and I would guess the other chinese supermarkets will also sell them.
Applegrim 24-02-2005, 16:50 Sometimes the wet fish shop on Woodseats sells duck eggs,
Dirtydog 24-02-2005, 17:03 Garys butcher shop on Handsworth Road sells them for 20p each. Luvverly.

Seriously they don't - I've just been in about 30mins ago to double check. Then trekked over to Chinese Supermarket behind Woolies and the only ones they had were salted and preserved. Urghhh!
Am off to Just Natural in a minute to see if they have them. Fingers crossed! Just need to quaff a few espressos.
InVIs4bLeMaN 04-04-2005, 21:39 Come to castle fish market at The Shellfish Bar they do duck eggs @£1.20 half dozen ;) oposite the jewellers
Wet fish shop in Hillsbrough
saw them for sale in Morrisons today
Ecclesfield but sure all other branches will have them
cgksheff 05-04-2005, 18:14 We bought some just before Easter to reduce the problem of the "white egg crisis". They came from Castle Market.
All of a dozen were 'double-yolkers'.
Are duck eggs more prone to this or have we been lucky!
An odds & sods shop near the Malin pub often has them but he only opens at weekends.
I was in Tesco at Infirmary Road last night, and they had plenty. Was almost tempted to try them... maybe next week. :)
JonJParr 06-04-2005, 09:26 That's where I ended up getting them from too Rich and they were extremely tasty, you should try some!
marketman 06-04-2005, 15:50 Just curious, why wouldn't you get them from Castle Market?
Went into 'Morrisons' store in Bramley, Rotherham and they have started to sell them along side the ordinairy eggs, so they should hopefully sell them in the Sheffield area stores.

petebarker 27-04-2005, 21:38 A farm near Edenfield, Lancashire, sells duck eggs .
glitterbug 06-05-2005, 23:32 you posh chuffs, they do sell them in the castle market on the egg stall ( of course ) you can get almost anything there
The egg stall in the market sells everything?
When I asked for an exhaust system for my Honda 50 they looked at me gone out!

I might be repeating someone else since I haven't read the thread, but they sell them at Tescos on infirmary road. I bought some the other day and had them poached on sat morning. Very nice they were.
Fantomas 29-05-2008, 08:15 Hello, just reviving this old thread - does anybody know if the egg stall is still in Castle Market?
Me and Mrs Fantomas are really fancying some asparagus with dippy duck egg.

We'll have to buy some more before we move!! Need to find a nice little shop like that near the new house!!
Yog Sothoth 29-05-2008, 11:48 Tesco's do them on Abbeydale Road, but I'd say go to Castle Market or to the superb Boldock's fish and game shop on woodseats high street.
Fantomas 29-05-2008, 12:09 Just got some from Castle Market. We've looked in Tesco Abbeydale Road a few times and not seen them - maybe they don't always stock them.
Thorpist 29-05-2008, 17:52 Why is that I only see brown chicken eggs?
It used to be that hens eggs were always white.
missflirtuk 31-05-2008, 23:07 morrisons in ecclesfield
jingle jangl 01-06-2008, 13:54 My other half gets ours from a supplier at his works. I can get you some but you have to pick them up from Rotherham.....
ratboyisaac 01-06-2008, 14:13 Hi. they sell them at castle market.
Not particularly handy but the place to get eggs of all kinds at great prices is Skidmores in Bakewell
Unfortunately Skidmores have closed down.
They used to have their game birds hanging above the shop window but the council told them they couldn't do that anymore.

A sad loss to the town, shop is currently being renovated and will reopen as a designer clothes shop.
The Skidmore brothers now live on Castle Street and can be seen wandering up and down the Monyash Road where they have a field with a cow and some geese.
Dark Moomin 02-06-2008, 15:44 Coppice House Farm Shop I believe have them somtimes and I have often seen goose eggs in there too! but haven't had occasion to try one yet, they are really big!
jingle jangl 03-06-2008, 08:37 We also get goose eggs from the same supplier...... now they are something to die for!! Chips and egg has a new meaning!!!
coppice house farm shop. rivelin valley road sells them. lovely shop, sure u will buy other things there too.
