Fish stock is similar to chicken stock or beef broth, but it has a more delicate flavor. It's also a good source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients.
To make fish stock, you'll need:
* Fish bones (from any type of fish)
* Vegetables (such as onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes)
* Herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and bay leaves)
* Water
Simply combine all of the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Once the stock is finished simmering, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids. You can then use the fish stock immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
Fish stock is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Here are a few ideas:
* Use fish stock as a base for soup or stew.
* Add fish stock to rice or pasta dishes for extra flavor.
* Use fish stock to steam vegetables.
* Make a sauce by reducing fish stock and adding some cream or butter.
With so many uses, it's no wonder fish stock is a staple in many kitchens.
