Squab - Whole

Tender, succulent, and richly flavored, this whole squab weighs in at an average of 15oz — the perfect size for an elegant, single-serve roast bird. Often featured in fine dining, squab delivers dark meat richness with a delicate texture, somewhere between duck and quail.

About:
Squab is young pigeon, prized for its tenderness and mild game flavor. With no need for long cooking times, it’s best roasted or pan-seared quickly to medium-rare or medium — resulting in juicy, silky meat. A favorite in French, Chinese, and Mediterranean cuisines.

Option 2 – Pan-Sear & Finish in Oven:

➤ Sear breast-side down in hot skillet with oil or duck fat for 3–4 minutes until golden. Flip, then transfer to 400°F oven for 10–12 minutes to finish.
