Great fish reipe thanks bunches


This sounds wonderful. Do you remove the fish eyes?? When I was in school, we were told to remove them because they would cloud the fish stock...just wondering cause I have shyed away from making stock because I cannot get myself to de-eye the fish! :o(


I can't wait to try this, it looks sooooo good!


Nope,
I don't remove the eyes until after they are cooked. But I also learned in culinary school, to rinse well the fish parts with cold water, remove the gills which may cause a bitterness ) and never let the stock boil, just simmer about 20 minutes. Also oily fish are normally not used for stock but I do use salmon and always get a tasty recipe and not overly cloudy either.
I think the trick is to gently simmer 20 minutes and not boil


Thanks midgelet, will give this a try!
