I don't do anything special to a duck. Duck is much greasier than turkey 
or chicken
but that's one thing I like about it. I rub the duck with lemon juice 
and herbs and
then roast it in the oven. You may want to drain off some of the oil. If 
gets to be too
much and starts to fry. That's about it though for the difference.
