Fish Stock

You can make your own fish stock or purchase refrigerated fish stock or bottled clam juice. Remember if you do use ready-made fish stock or bottled clam juice to dilute them by half with water as they are very salty. You can usually get fish bones at no charge from the fish section at your supermarket. Just call a day or so ahead so they can put them aside.
