Yup! They’re farmed for meat and eggs.
My wife loves duck but they’ve gotten too expensive to buy regularly. Definitely a special occasion thing.
I'm so glad that the price of duck has not gone up around me. And surprised, now that I think about it. I love duck. Cook them once or twice every year.
I had duck eggs once. They tasted fishy. I did not have duck eggs again.
They shouldn't be fishy at all; I've had hundreds in my life (they are the standard here), they're just richer.
I can't help what they tasted like...
I mean you probably had a bad one or something.
Considering several other people said wild duck eggs taste fishy, I'm thinking that it's a fish diet on the duck's part rather than the grain it would be fed on a farm.
The two others mentioned the meat can taste "kinda fishy", not the eggs. The other said farmed ones don't taste fishy, they're just richer.
FFS. Will you accept a duck farm's word on this?

How about a scientific paper?

I don't know why this is a hill you want to die on, but...
Why are you angry and thinking I care that much?
First link:
Second one says there is an odor, not a taste. Okay though.
Why do I think you care this much? Because you keep insisting it isn't true as if I would lie about such a thing?
I didn't say it's not true that you encountered it, but that it was probably bad. Give it a rest.
Farmed duck eggs generally don't taste fishy, but they are richer and a little different than chicken eggs.
Wild duck meat can also taste kinda fishy, I think due to their natural diet.
Haven’t noticed it in the eggs but if I’m eating duck eggs they’re usually salted duck eggs which is a whole ‘nother experience.
