I dunno where I originally got this from, but I like the amount I can make (12 cups). My local fish store will keep bones for me, for no charge!

Ingredients

2 lbs fresh fish bones, from white,nonoily fish
12 cups filtered water or 12 cups mineral water
1/2 cup white wine (the kind you'd drink)
10 whole black peppercorns
1 large onion, unpeeled and chopped
3 slices fresh ginger (1-inch)

1 carrot, chopped

Steps:

Put all ingredients in a large stockpot over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 2 hours.

I like to freeze in ice cube trays, then place in a ziplock freezer bag (doubled, to prevent any possible freezer burn).
