A very fat Duck

novascotiarobMember

I have been asked to cook a duck which a friend of mine raised. I am going to brine it in smokins turkey brine.(a request from the last time I did his geese)The problem thatI have is that the duck is reeally fat. He has about 1/2 inch of fat on him. Do you think I could trim some of the fat off or should I leave it as is? I bring this question to you because I am concerned with the amount of fat that will be rendered..R

I'd put a pan under it and catch it, duck fat is great to cook with, smoked duck fat might be even better....

Last Thanksgiving I took a duck over to my deep frying buddy. I cut a 1 inch diamond pattern thru the skin and applied CS chicken rub and let it sit overnight uncovered in the frig. Deep Fried it after the turkeys were done. About 6 minutes per pound. The dick shrunk up aboyt 25% or so due to lost fat. It was great! you won;t be sad if you do it this way
