Boneless breast fillets hand-prepared by our butchers (approx 40-50g each) Wild-shot in Suffolk and available year-round Three pack sizes: 4 fillets, 10 fillets, or 1kg (around 18 fillets) Standard (lead shot) or Eco-friendly (steel shot) options available Pan-fry in around two minutes per side for a quick supper The breast contains the majority of the meat on a wood pigeon, and these fillets avoid the fiddly job of plucking or carving. Each fillet weighs around 40 to 50g, with a fine, dense grain reminiscent of a prime steak in miniature. The flavour is rich and earthy, shaped by a wild diet of seeds, berries, acorns and oil-seed rape: deeper than chicken, more refined than some other game. The 4- and 10-fillet packs are A-grade, hand-selected for their appearance: ideal pan-fried in butter or sliced across a peppery salad with blackberries. Two fillets serve one as a main. The 1kg bulk pack is graded less strictly so there may be the odd shot blemish, but it's a great value option, ideal for a pie or casserole.
