FISH STOCK
Fish stock is a delicate broth, cooked briefly and gently for best flavor. Bones and heads are used for flavor and body. They should be washed and cleaned of gills and organs to make a clear, clean-tasting stock. White-fleshed fish are best; salmon, mackerel, or other oily fish have too strong a flavor. If not buying whole fish, ask your fishmonger for clean heads and bones for making stock.

Steps:
- Rinse and clean: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds fish bones and heads (gills removed), from white-fleshed fish only.
- Put the bones and heads in a large heavy pot (if necessary, chop them so they fit) with: 1 1/2 cups dry white wine, 8 cups water, Salt.
- Bring to a boil and turn down immediately to a simmer. Skim any foam that rises to the surface and add: 1 carrot, peeled and sliced, 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced, 1 small celery stalk, sliced, leaves removed, 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, Parsley stems.
- Cook, barely simmering, for 45 minutes. Strain, discarding the solids. If not using right away, allow to cool, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Fish stock will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator, but it tastes best the day it is made.
- Use red wine instead of white, if appropriate (for a red wine fish stew, for example).
- Include a tomato or two with the vegetables.
WHITE WINE FISH STOCK
An easy to make and flavorful stock to use for chowders, for poaching fish, or as the base for a nice, rich white sauce. Freezes well, so you can make it whenever you have leftover fish bits and bring it out when you need it!

STRONG FISH STOCK
This recipe uses a technique called "sweating" to extract maximum flavor from every ingredient. Although sweating adds a step, this stock is still effortless to make and takes only five minutes longer to cook than the Traditional Fish Stock.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a heavy 7- to 8-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, and peppercorns and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables become very soft without browning, about 8 minutes.
- 2. Place the fish head on the vegetables and stack the fish frames evenly on top. Pour in the wine, cover the pot tightly, and let the bones sweat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they have turned completely white.
- 3. Add enough very hot or boiling water to just barely cover the bones. Give the mixture a gentle stir and allow the brew to come to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, carefully skimming off any white foam that comes to the surface, trying not to take any herbs, spices, or vegetables with it. (Using a ladle and a circular motion, push the foam from the center to the outside of the pot, where it is easy to remove.)
- 4. Remove the pot from the stove, stir the stock again, and allow it to steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and season lightly with salt. If you are not going to be using the stock within the hour, chill it as quickly as possible. Cover the stock after it is thoroughly chilled (it will have a light jellied consistency) and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
FLAVORFUL FISH STOCK
Here's the problem with homemade stock: It's so good that it doesn't last long. What's needed is something you can produce more or less on the spot. Although water is a suitable proxy in small quantities, when it comes to making the bubbling, chest-warming soups that we rely on in winter, water needs some help. Fortunately, there are almost certainly flavorful ingredients sitting in your fridge or pantry that can transform water into a good stock in a matter of minutes. These recipes are meant to be fast, so by ''simmer,'' I mean as little as five minutes and no more than 15. You can season these stocks at the end with salt and pepper to taste, or wait until you're ready to turn them into full-fledged soups.
