How to Cook Fish Fumet
- Peel and finely chop the onions, shallots and carrots. Roughly crush the fish trimmings, then put them in a large pan with the onions, shallots and carrots. Add the bouquet garni, and the half lemon, cut in half again.
- Pour in a large glass of white wine and 2 pints (1.2ltr) of water. Add a generous pinch of sea salt and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper. Bring to boil, then turn the heat down and simmer without covering, allowing the stock to reduce for one hour.
- When the liquid has cooled, strain through a sieve (strainer), retaining the liquid and disposing of the solids. Store in the fridge or freezer.
