Ingredients

  • 2 Onions, sliced
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery, chopped
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Whole black peppercorns
  • 5 pounds Fish bones and fish heads
  • 1/2 cup White vermouth or other white wine OR 1 tablespoon vinegar diluted in 1/2 cup water
  • Hot water enough to cover bones
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee or other cooking fat, such as butter, olive oil, or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Add ghee to a large stockpot over medium heat. Once melted, add onions, carrots, and celery. Allow to saute for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add fish bones and fish heads on top of vegetables and add white vermouth. Cover stockpot and allow bones to "sweat" for approximately 10 minutes. (See video.)
  • Remove lid and add enough hot water to cover bones. Bring the water up to a high simmer and skim any foam that comes up to the top.
  • Turn heat to low and allow the bone broth to simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the fish bones, fish heads, and vegetables from the stockpot and then strain the broth and decant into a clean container.
