Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 large onions, coarsely chopped

  • 1 bunch celery, coarsely chopped

  • 4 large carrots, coarsely chopped

  • 2 large green bell peppers, coarsely chopped

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro

  • ½ bunch fresh oregano

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 3 ½ (1 liter) bottles water

  • ½ pound fish parts (such as bones, spine, and tail)

  • 2 large fish heads

  • 2 cups clam juice

  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large stockpot. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrots, and bell peppers and saute for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro, oregano, and bay leaves. Saute for 2 minutes more. Add water, fish parts, fish heads, clam juice, and peppercorns.

  2. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer, uncovered, for at least 4 hours. Turn off heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.

  3. Remove bulk items from stock using a skimmer or slotted spoon. Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container, making sure all fish bones have been removed. Use or freeze for future use.
