My exhusband has had swan many times. I think the swan hunting season
is about one day long in Northern California. He said that it's very
good ("good eating," he said) and I don't recall him mentioning that
it was tough. I seem to remember that he said it was tender. I'd ask
him how it was cooked but I don't talk to him much anymore.
