Recipe for Making Fish Stock Part 3

Video Transcript

" Hi! I'm Louis Ortiz on behalf of Expert Village and we are back to show you the basic procedure for building on a fish stock actually. So I have 2 carcases in my stock pot here and I've just cover them with water I would say about a inch over the top, I have taken a whole lemon and just cut it in half and squeezed the lemon juice inside there and this is cool water again and I put both lemon halves inside of the water. So where going to go ahead again I start with cool water you don't want to start with hot water so we got cool water in here, I've got a high fire going on behind me. So we are just going to put this on the fire and I'm not so concerned about bring it up to rolling boil I just want to have the medium simmer, kind of a gentle simmer and it is only going to take about 5 minutes. Once we have hit the simmering point 5 minutes from that point to a red most of these bones have added there impurities that we don't want in the stock and along with the lemon juice in there it is going to help to kind of clarified and pull some of those impurities out because of the high acidity level of the lemon juice. So we would come back after that is done and show you the next part of the process. "
