Homemade Fish stock | for sauces and seafood soups

Fish stock forms the basis for seafood sauces, soups, seafood meals and more. This is a basic version with the addition of optional white wine. Make a big batch, then freeze it, ready to use. If you're using flat style fish like sole, flounder etc then only cook it for 20 minutes otherwise you may get bitterness out of the bones. It's also professionally know as Fish Fumet, or Fumet de poisson. Ask your fish monger for the freshest heads and bones you can get. If you're a regular customer, chances they won't even charge you. Never buy stock again.

Very important to remove the gills from the fish heads otherwise the stock will be bitter .Also rinse the fish is in cold running water for a few minutes to remove all traces of blood ,then drain before adding to the pot .

[@theresebatty3853]

Yes chef 🙌🏼😂

[@Max-cs1dn]

Not only that, gills are also collectors of heavy metals, industrial wastes and other toxins as they constantly pass in and out particles, liquid and gas from water. They MUST be removed from marine animals in food preparation.

The most relaxing cooking video I have ever seen.

[@baritonebroker]

I agree with you lot, I don’t need all the talking, I know what I’m doing in the kitchen. The quick images across the screen are more easily absorbed in my head. Very relaxing, not annoying.

Use little olive oil or veg oil instead of butter. Add garlic or ginger. Fry the fish a while or to little brown. Add celery on top of onion. Then you may have a surprise.

[@keithdmaust1854]

[@i-craftsdesign3175]

The show One Piece made me search this. It´s the episode where Sanji teaches a lesson to Marines Cooks about not wasting anything from potato peels to fish leftovers. He even did fish-balls from grinding the fish leftovers as well as stock.

[@pozucina]

Oh wow! I’ll like to see that grinding….. I would probably try to get rid of fat as much as possible but the fish skin is so healthy 😊

[@AxelSituation]

This is the best recipe for fish stock that I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@gabriellejackson9744]

Just a tip as a culinary student, next time remove the eyes before adding the heads in the stock. These eyes can cause a "funky" taste at times. But overall a great video!

[@gooddoggo2258]

So you dig the eyes out? Sounds pretty brutal.

[@recipe30]

Thanks for the tip Gabrielle, yes eyes can be bitter if they burst, but I've never found them to be an issue. They are a delicacy in parts of Asia.

[@SpiderPlanTHuuge]

I live in Minnesota about as far from fresh ocean fish as you can get, what about using fresh water fish for the stock? Your channel is excellent, love all the great recipes, keep up the great work

[@recipe30]

Sure, why not. I've used fresh water trout before and that made a nice stock. Also any crustaceans bits but fry them in oil first.

[@recipe30]

Awesome, glad it's useful Marvin 👍

[@randomwatcher8419]

Remove the gills first, and make sure you don't use an oily fish as it taints the flavor of the stock. I'd also suggest simmering the fish heads and onions together for 10 mins instead of 5, but the difference will be minimal.

[@stellarossa3723]

Better is to grilled separate fish bones, and after that add to stock/vegetables.

I just discovered fish bone broth and I have 2 questions: 1. is it OK to use salmon to make the broth? Because some people says don't use oily fish. 2. Some people Cooks the fish broth for 4 hours some say it's better for no longer 1 hour. Which one is best? Thanks

[@recipe30]

Depends on the fish, some flat fish 20 minutes is maximum as bitterness leaks out of bones. Other fish are fine for longer.

[@stefanedlund8774]

You have to clean and rinse the bones from all blood first. If not the stock get brown.

I have a question. Would it be better to use dried/cured fish against bones and head? I think cured fish has more umami (taste) than fresh bones and head? Please answer for me.
