- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or stock pot. Add the fish parts and cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes, without browning. Add all remaining ingredients, crushing the sachet slightly to release flavours.
- Simmer gently, uncovered, over a low heat for 25 minutes.
- Line a colander with muslin and place over a large pan or bowl. Pour the stock over to strain, discarding the solids or reserving for another use.
- Use the stock immediately, or return to the pan to reduce the stock for a stronger flavour by simmering till your desired flavour is achieved.
Storage tip
Fish stock will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
