Pheasant Breast Fillets

Season: October – February

• Quick and easy to cook and carve
• 2 fillets per pack or 1kg packs
• Eco-friendly shot option now available
• Average fillet size 75g
• Dispatched chilled

 

The breasts have been skilfully filleted by our butchers to save you time in both cooking and carving. Breasts can be baked in a sauce or casseroled  but pan frying is by far the easiest way of cooking.  Please note the 1kg pack option may also contain smaller fillets and fillets may have slight blemishes caused by shot. 

Traditionally, lead shot is standard for shooting game birds like pheasant. However, as the British game sector transitions towards more sustainable ammunition, we’re pleased to offer an Eco-friendly (typically steel shot) option alongside the standard choice. To learn more about lead shot safety, click here.  While steel shot is far more Eco-friendly, it can be harder on our teeth than lead, which is a relatively soft metal. So please bear this in mind when ordering the Eco-friendly option.

Pan fry for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Or alternatively just brown in pan and then roast for 5 minutes.
