Fish stock is a fish broth (fish fumet recipe) is one of the basic cooking recipes, prepared with scraps and discards of fish and shellfish, enriched and flavored with vegetables, aromatic herbs, salt and pepper. In the kitchen it is very useful for making fish-based preparations in a stew or in any case that need to be cooked with a liquid, as in the case of risotto and couscous, for these it is really essential, unless you want to use a vegetable broth. It can be made with only fish scraps (bones, heads, scraps), only shellfish scraps (heads, shells) or with both, this varies depending on the preparation in which we are going to use it. However, it is important not to use innards and gills that give a bitter and unpleasant flavor. The preparation of fish stock is quite simple, just fry onion or leek in a little butter, add the fish scraps and let them flavor, then blend with wine or other alcoholic substance and add vegetable aromas and water. The rest of the task is performed by the stove, which will simmer the fish stock until it is ready, usually it is enough .... However, we can also prepare it in the same way we make broth, that is, we put all the ingredients in a pot, cover with plenty of water and let it cook. By doing this we will obtain a stock with a less strong flavor, which will be more suitable for making dishes with a more delicate flavor, where the stock must not overwhelm or in any case cover the flavor. Fish stock is a preparation that I often make, and given the long cooking times I always make a lot of it. I then keep it for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or I freeze it in small containers to always have it available. Much better than using preparations based on glutamate that always give the dishes the same flavor and as we know are not so healthy.
