Thanks I took it out. We just had this nice article on Stock posted http://www.joyofkosher.com/2013/02/taking-stock-learn-to-make-your-own-stock/, but unfortunately we did not get fish stock, I will ask Chef Laura if she can share one. In the meantime you can try this version – http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/stocks/r/fishstock.htm
You should have left out the clam and chicken broth before printing it. People are kind of funny and might think it is o.k. Also how to make the fish stock if no “ready” made is available. Appreciate a quick response. MB
I tried this recipe, before corrections were made with the ingredients. Therefore left out the fennel. I enjoyed this recipe, and might be inclined to try it again with the fennel, knowing it will make a significant flavor shift. If you don’t like fennel, try it without, but then again I love soups, and I love fish.
