Duck Fat

[chaofun]

Hey all I was wondering if you all knew I could get some duck fat like... today. If we don't have any hits I'll just order online from Hudson Valley Foie Gras. I did search the board and got Market Poultry from the Duck Confit thread, but I called and they don't have any today. Any other ideas?

I've been told both wegmans and whole foods sells duck fat in small expensive quantities. D'artagnan brand. Try their website too : www.dartagnan.com

I've seen that product at the Brookfield Market in Cleveland Park.

I've bought it at the Butcher's Block in Old Town Alexandria to make duck confit. I believe it was house made. I seem to remember it was $3 or $4 for something like 8 oz. of duck fat. However, they didn't have any duck fat the last time I walked in (about two weeks ago). Previously, it was in the cooler with the drinks.

I wish that I had duck fat.

And I can tell you why.

Spuds can splash around in duck fat.

And they smell good as they fry.

Thx all. I didn't end up needing it as much as I thought as my duck legs shrunk and gave off fat as they confited, so there ended up being enough fat. Thx to everyone!
