Fish Fumet

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

If you are preparing the fish yourself, remove the gills and the eyes. Cut
the heads and bones across into 4-inch pieces. In a shallow pan filled with
cold water, add the heads and bones. Cover, and let stand for 1 hour,
changing the water twice. In a large stockpot set over medium heat, add the
corn oil, onions, fennel, leeks, peppercorns, salt, parsley, and bay
leaves. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the vegetables are
soft but not browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer heads and bones from water,
and add to the stockpot. Stir periodically until bones and flesh around
bones turn from translucent to white, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and 6
cups of water; bring to a boil over high heat. Boil fumet 10 minutes,
skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Remove from heat; let rest
for 10 minutes. Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve or chinois,
pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much of the flavorful liquid as
possible. If you have more than 6 cups of fumet, place the liquid in a
clean saucepan over high heat, and boil until it reduces to 6 cups. Store,
tightly covered, in the refrigerator up to 3 days, or in the freezer up to
2 months. Makes 6 cups.
