Steezo. Don't skim to get schmaltz. You skim to get rid of the impurities. The easiest way to get the fat is put the soup in the fridge after cooking. The schmaltz will congeal on the top.
I feel so Jew-ey right now. I skimmed the scum off the top and threw it away, but I kept the schmaltz and put it in the fridge so it could separate.
