The stock/broth is very sticky so I am thinking a got a lot of the collegen and such cooked down/out of the hock.
Sounds like you got it just right if it's gelling. I have never cared for fat. Family was sure I would be a surgeon based on how I removed every bit of fat from my steak. But I love butter on my bread and avocados and cheese and chocolate, so maybe just animal fat I don't like. How old am I and I just figured this out???
