Where to find Goose Fat in SEA?

Question

Anyone know a good source for buying rendered goose fat? I need it for a couple of dishes I'm cooking.

Duck fat I can easily get, but I am specifically looking for goose fat. Please let me know if you have any leads!

Thanks,
--Scott O.

Answer

I don’t know off-hand any walk-in, off-the-shelf sources in Seattle. Seattle Caviar Company carries foie gras, but I don’t remember seeing any duck or goose fat. You’ve probably already checked with DeLaurenti and Whole Foods, but if not, you could give them a call. Otherwise, you can get goose fat from some mail-order sources on the web. See, e.g., Schlitz Foods (www.roastgoose.com), GermanDeli.com (www.germandeli.com), and British Corner Shop (www.britishcornershop.co.uk).

Answer

for what it's worth, i have cooked with goose fat and the more easily obtained duck fat and chicken fat and have found them basiclly interchangeable except in dishes (like kishka or helzel) where the fat is the primary ingredient - but, even there, the difference is minimal

Answer

I just tried checking Amazon.com and none of the products listed are available. Now I'm starting to get annoyed.

Doesn't anyone cook with this stuff?

Answer

I posted the same query on the NYC board and turned up a hit: Schaller & Weber carries it in the store & they're willing to ship. ($30 min. so I had to buy two 14 oz. tubs at $18 each).

FYI it's not currently on the web site, but from what they tell me the site is a work in progress.

Still, it would be great to know of any local sources who can supply year-round.

Answer

check with Stewarts in Yelm - if they don't have it i bet they probably know where to get it - that place is fantastic

Answer

Still need Goose fat?
I think I have some in my freezer.
It is possible it it rancid as I can't remember when it was given to me.
I was going to use it to make soap.

Answer

check with Swinery in West Seattle. They carry different fats from time to time.
