Ingredients

  • lb 900gm, 8 cups fresh fish: this can be fish heads, fish bones, fresh or cooked shellfish leftovers, any fish trimmings
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 6 parsley stems – not the leaves as they will darken the stock.
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients into a large heavy bottomed pan or, if you have, a fish kettle.
  • Bring to the boil and skim any foam which may have formed on top.
  • Reduce heat and simmer slowly, uncovered, for about half an hour.
  • Pass the contents through a fine sieve – a muslin lined one is best if you have one.
  • Cool the stock and when cold, you can place in your refrigerator or freezer.
  • So easy and yet it will give you such a divine flavour!
