Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Water 1 liter
Fresh seafood (fish) 500g

Dry white wine 50ml

Instructions

To prepare a rich and flavorful fish stock, begin by filleting the fish carefully. Once done, peel and trim the onion, cutting it into quarters. Next, in a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, letting them soften and release their fragrance.

Now, introduce the fish into the pot along with the peppercorns. If you enjoy a more aromatic profile, feel free to add some fresh thyme to the mix. Add a pinch of salt, and let everything simmer gently over low heat for around 60 minutes. Remember to skim the surface of the broth periodically with a slotted spoon, ensuring that any impurities are removed. Itโ€™s essential to rinse the spoon under clean water each time you skim the stock to avoid reintroducing impurities.

Once the cooking time has elapsed, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to separate the solids from the liquid. If youโ€™re not using the fish stock right away, let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.

This fish stock serves as a wonderful base for soups, sauces, and risottos, lending a deep, delicate seafood flavor to any dish itโ€™s added to.


Enjoy the comforting essence of the sea with this homemade fish stock recipe, perfect for enhancing your favorite seafood dishes.
