we have a duck breast in sealed plastic which is within date. we've never bought raw duck before, so i don't know how it smells. we did have some things go bad in the fridge last week, but have since turned the temp down. i think it smells like a slightly strong smelling raw meat (like raw lamb smells), but my husband thinks it smells sulfuric, like a rotten egg. what should raw duck breast smell like?

i don't pick up on 'rotten smell' at all; for me it is just slightly gamey, wild smelling, like lamb. fresh red meat DOES have a smell. so i'm trying to figure out if anyone knows exactly what raw duck smells like. if you think raw lamb has no smell, you probably aren't sure of the answer for duck, i think...

You can tell the quality of any meat, 1 minute after it starts cooking. Meat of fowls (chicken and such) spoil easy - that is why one should always wash chicken before you cook it.
Ducks and catfish give a natural smell of swampy water.

When in doubt,
Throw it out.
It's poultry and poultry spoils quickly in the incorrect temperatures. If it's questionable, don't take a chance..

If it has any kind of rotten smell it has gone bad. Check the temperature of your fridge again!

Just eat it. What's the worst that could happen? (other than death)
