Put fish bones in a pan with vegetables and spices, bring to the boil but immediately lower the fire. Skim carefully, let the stock simmer without boiling for three hours. Some recipes prescribe a much shorter time, notlonger than twenty minutes to prevent the fish stock turning bitter. In my opninion a longer simmering (without actually boiling) results in a tastier fumet.<\/p>\n Strain the stock<\/a>, and reduce with 75%. That means that from the three litres of water plus additional liquids from the vegetables you’ll end up with about 7.5 decilitres (3 cups). If you plan to use the fish stock for a fish soup, you can limit reducing the stock to 1 litre (4 cups).\u00a0Let it cool quickly<\/a>. Now you can freeze what you don’t need immediately. A fumet is often used in small quantities. Use an ice cube holder to freeze some of the fumet for when just a spoonful is needed, and freeze some in portions of \u00bd cup. Do not forget to label the stock, because once frozen it is difficult to identify which stock it is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A recipe for concentrated fish fumet<\/em><\/span>1 kilo (2 pound) fish bones<\/span>
