Fish Stock
– subtle –

Now we are going to prepare a “cooking base”. That’s how the stocks are called that are prepared with a concentrated flavor, that serve to enrich and give a better flavor to dishes like: soups, creams, salsas, rices, etc.

The fish stock recipe is very important for the vast majority of soups that have fish or shellfish as main ingredient. Since the secret of these soups largely depends on the stock, to such a degree that the success or failure of the soup relies in the stock not that much in the soup preparation.

– For this reason it is very important that the fish stock has an intense flavor but at the same time it lends to combinations and mixtures. Although that won’t be a problem because with this recipe you will cook a phenomenal fish stock.

With this base many dishes can be prepared such as: fish soup, seafood soup, paella, rice, etc.
