Where to get duck fat? [General]
2009 Nov 23
Most grocery stores in Québec carries it. IGA, Loblaws...That is where I buy mine. Call ahead to find out. Also, Saslove in the Market, sells it year round...I have also seen it at Costco around Christmas time
Keep in mind that Duck fat can be frozen and reused several times. I use it to cook beef and make my duck confit.

I used to buy a tub for about 6-7 bucks at one of the aforementioned spots and it would last me a while. Now, I roast duck maybe once every 2-3 months and before the duck goes in the oven or on the heat I trim all the excess skin from around the neck and tail, put it in a saucepan over very low heat and render the fat for about two hours to get about half a tub, which is plenty for my uses. Crispy duck skin cracklings is just a nice side bonus!
