Partridge Breast Fillets

Season: September – February

• Most of the meat and none of the carving
• 4 fillets per pack or 1kg packs
• Average weight per fillet 45-50g
• Eco-friendly shot option now available
• Dispatched chilled

Another way of getting round the fiddly carving of a whole partridge on the plate.  A partridge fillet can be cooked in the same way as you would a chicken breast fillet – you will find you have a tasty and healthier alternative! We also supply a 1kg ungraded pack of fillets which may have slight blemishes on ideal for dinner parties . As a rough guide allow 2 fillets per person for a starter and 3 for a main course.

Lead shot is traditionally used for shooting game birds like partridge. However, as the British game industry transitions towards more sustainable ammunition, we have introduced a new eco-friendly option, typically in the form of steel shot, alongside the standard choice. It’s important to note that steel shot can be harder on our teeth than lead, so keep this in mind when choosing the eco-friendly option. To learn more about Lead shot safety, click here. 

Great pan-fried and served as a warm salad.
