Stocks and broths are essential basics that everyone should have on hand. While most grocers have a variety of stocks for purchase, I find that you simply can't match a homemade stock.
Don't get me wrong, I purchase stocks too. But a good homemade stock brings so much more to the recipe. Try it and be amazed at how this fish stock changes your next meal.

Stock can be frozen for up to 3 months. Should you decide to follow this path, just do the following:
- Place the stock in a clean saucepan and bring to a rapid boil over a high heat.
- Boil until stock has reduced by half.
- Let cool to room temperature..
- Skim off and discard the fat.
- Pour stock in 1/2 cup quantities into plastic freezer bags and securely seal them.

- You can then remove the baking sheet and stack the bags how like.
