Time 4h30m

Yield 7 cups (5 cups extra-rich fish stock)

Number Of Ingredients 1

5 pounds heads and bones from white-fleshed fish, like snapper, bass or cod

Steps:

  • Wash fish heads and bones well to eliminate all traces of blood. Cut out the blood-rich gills with scissors.
  • Put heads and bones in pot, and cover with 2 1/2 quarts water. Place over high heat, and bring to boil. Skim off scum that rises to top. Lower heat, and simmer stock for 4 to 6 hours, or until approximately 7 cups of broth remain, skimming as necessary. (To make extra-rich stock, used in the recipe below, cook for an extra hour.)
  • Strain stock through a damp cloth-lined sieve. Stock can be used immediately, or refrigerated or frozen.
