Step 1: You will need

  • 1 ½ kg fish bones
  • 2 ltr water
  • 3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, roughly chopped
  • 1 head of garlic, cut in halves
  • 50 g white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns
  • a few sprigs of parsley
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 bowl

Step 2: Make the stock

Place a large saucepan onto the hob. Add the fish bones, celery, onion, fennel, garlic and the mushrooms. Cover it all with the water. Turn the heat onto high. Make sure that everything is submerged under the water. Once simmering, skim the surface with a spoon and discard any impurities. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves and the parsley. Push it all under, making sure that everything is well immersed. Cook for 30-45 minutes.

Step 3: Strain and store

Once cooked, strain the fish stock through a colander into a bowl. Use it right away, chill it for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, or it will keep in freezer for months.
