Ingredients:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened |
3 lb mixed bones and heads of white-fleshed fish (such as cod, grouper, monkfish, porgy, red snapper, striped bass, and turbot), gills removed and bones and heads rinsed well |
2 large onions, sliced |
1 bunch fresh parsley stems (reserve leaves for another use) |
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
10 cups cold water |
1 1/2 cups dry white wine |
Directions:
1. Spread butter in bottom of a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot. Add fish bones and heads, onions, parsley stems, lemon juice, and salt and cook, covered, over moderately high heat, without stirring, 5 minutes. (Mixture will steam in its own juices.) Add water and wine and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, skimming any froth, 25 minutes.
2. Pour stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids.
3. Cooks' note: Stock can be made ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered, for 2 days or frozen 1 month.
