I have always cooked Pekin ducks and have never had any issues with the amount of fat. There is always plenty. @KennethT‘s comment surprises me. But then we are not capable of quantifying, (on the spur of the moment, I mean) so we don’t know just what each of us means. I have made a dish very similar to the one @JoNorvelleWalkerdiscusses, and it has always turned out great.
