Preferred Meats Coturnix Quail: A Chef's Secret Weapon

These specially bred quail produce a light meat with a well-rounded, slightly sweet flavor, making them a very versatile choice for chefs.


Sometimes called Pharoah’s quail, the Coturnix is reportedly the same quail eaten in Biblical times. This delicate meat pairs well with an abundance of flavors to complement most menus. It can be prepared in many ways using traditional or creative cooking methods.


These fresh and plump little birds are around 5-6 ounces each. Being tunnel boned means they are perfect for grilling or stuffing, making for a truly elegant presentation.

We think the quality of these birds are second to none and the feedback we are getting from our chefs testifies to that.
