Fish stock will bring out the flavor of any fish dish. Use what you need and freeze the rest for another time.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds assorted fish bones, including heads, tails, and spines from any non-oily white fish, such as snapper and bass
  • 2 medium yellow onions</

Method

Rinse the fish bones under cold running water, making sure the gills have been removed from the head.

In a large nonreactive soup kettle, combine the bones with the remaining ingredients and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Skim the stock and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes. Line a strainer with a double thickness of dampened cheese
