¿Qué es Seafood Stock?
Seafood stock is a savory liquid made by simmering fish bones, shells (shrimp, crab, lobster), and aromatic vegetables with water. It forms the flavor foundation for many seafood-based dishes, imparting a delicate yet rich ocean essence. This versatile ingredient adds depth and complexity to sauces, soups, and stews.
"The key to exceptional seafood stock lies in using non-oily fish bones and quickly simmering shells to avoid bitterness and achieve a clean, briny flavor."
