Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fish bones and heads
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1 stalk leek, cleaned and chopped
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 cup white wine
- 12 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the fish bones and heads under cold water to remove any blood or impurities. This helps to achieve a clearer broth.
In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leek, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the fish bones and heads to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to draw out flavors from the bones.
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Let the alcohol cook off for about 3 minutes.
Add the water, bay leaves, parsley, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer gently. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface with a ladle or skimmer.
Simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes to allow the flavors to fully meld and develop.
Carefully strain the broth through a fine sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean bowl or pot, discarding the solids.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Let the broth cool slightly before storing.
Use this delicious dairy-free fish broth as a base for soups, stews, or any dish calling for a rich fish stock.
