Fish Stock Recipe

  - Fish Stock cubes usually contains high levels of salt and low levels of nutrients.  Making you own fish stock is very easy and if you make it in large batches you can freeze it for later use.  You can use your fish stock as the basis for a delicious soup - serve it with a whole grain grain roll - or as the basis of a nourishing stew.

Fish Stock Ingredients

• 1 kg fish bones, heads (with gills removed). 

• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped

• 2 shallots coarsely chopped

• 2 ribs of celery, tops included, coarsely chopped

• 2 large carrots, scrubbed but not peeled, coarsely chopped

• 2 bay leaves

• 2 cloves

• 6 sprigs of parsley coarsely chopped

• 1 tbsp peppercorns

• Lemon rind from half a lemon

• Cold water to cover for the fish stock

Preparation Method For Fish Stock

Place the bones in a stockpot and cover with cold water.  Bring to simmering point - do not allow to boil.  Simmer for 20-30 minutes, but no longer or the fish stock will become bitter.

Then strain through cheesecloth or use a non-metallic colander.  Reduce the strained stock by boiling.  Use or freeze the fish stock as required.
