Ingredients
Recipe Description:
Homemade fish stock is nutritious and easy to make. Purchase fish whole and have them trim and cut off the flesh at the fish shop. Use the head and fish bones to make a light and delicious broth. Sip lightly seasoned broth as a simple first course or use it in place of store bought stock when preparing fish and seafood based soups and stews.
