Duclair (French pronunciation: [dyklɛʁ]) is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in northern France.

Duclair is a farming and light industrial town situated some 11 miles (18 km) west of the centre of Rouen at the junction of the D43, D5 and the D982 roads.

Beginning in the 17th century, these ducks would be hunted for their tender and tasty flesh.

In the late 19th century, an innkeeper named Henri "Père" Denise realized that suffocated ducks with intact blood make for more tender meat, and began purchasing suffocated ducks at discounted prices.

Since then, this has been the specialty dish of the commune, albeit an elaborate and macabre one.
