Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Fish heads and bones (preferably non-oily fish like cod or halibut)
- 8 cups Cold water
- 2 tbsp White wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 Celery stalks, chopped
- 1 Medium onion, quartered
- 3 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 3 Whole cloves
Instructions
Rinse the fish heads and bones thoroughly under cold water to remove any blood and impurities.
Place the fish heads and bones in a large stockpot. Cover with cold water (about 8 cups) and add the white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to help draw out the nutrients from the bones.
Add the chopped celery, quartered onion, crushed garlic cloves, bay leaves, parsley, sea salt, black peppercorns, and whole cloves to the pot.
Bring the stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the top.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 2 hours.
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and allow the broth to cool slightly.
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot or heat-resistant bowl, discarding the solids.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt if necessary.
Allow the broth to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
