Method

Prepare the fish fumet. Crush the fish bones, rinse and drain them. Peel, wash, and dice the vegetables. Place the fish bones, shallots, onions, leek whites, carrots, and bouquet garni in a large pot. Pour in the water and white wine and add a few peppercorns. Bring to the boil, and then lower the heat, skimming regularly. Leave to simmer for 25–30 minutes, without stirring, as this would cloud
