Spanish term or phrase: magret de pato
Looks like "magret" comes from French "maigre" but I can't find it in the DRAE or Oxford dictionaries. It's some kind of duck dish.

duck breast


Explanation:
This is another product I sell. You could also call it "duck magret" or simply "magret" and chefs/foodies would know what you are talking about.

I would consider "maigret" a mispelling. That is very common in the food world and even chefs are guilty of it.

Ok, it looks like it is common to add "fillet" to the phrase in the UK and Australia. You can leave "fillet" for the UK or drop it here in the US.

agree  Simon Bruni: yep!
1 hr
  -> Thanks!
agree  roneill: Yes, it's definitely magret not maigret
2 hrs
  -> Thank you, sir!
agree  Rachel Fell: I'd say fillet of duck breast, i.e. boneless - Maigret is a detective as far as I'm concerned;-)
4 hrs
  -> Thanks! I really feel that the "fillet" is unnecessary, since duck breast (at least here) always implies that it is boneless. It is extremely rare to see a duck breast served on the bone like a chicken breast quarter might be. I've never seen it..
