The Dublin Bay Prawn, scientifically known as Nephrops norvegicus, is a commercially significant crustacean species widely recognized in European cuisine. Despite its name, it is not a true prawn but a member of the lobster family, distinguished by its elongated body and delicate flavor. This species plays a crucial role in both fisheries and gastronomy, particularly in regions bordering the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea.

Duck is the common name for a large number of species in the Anatidae family of birds, which also includes swans and geese. The ducks are divided among several subfamilies in the Anatidae family; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species) but a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
