Basic Seafood Stock

   Always start with cold waterenough to cover the other stock ingredients.

2. 2

   1 Place all ingredients in a stock pot or a large saucepan.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil over high heat, then gently simmer at least 4 hours, preferably 8 (unless directed otherwise in a recipe), replenishing the water as needed to keep about 1 quart of liquid in the pan.

4. 4

   The pot may be uncovered or set a lid on it askew.

5. 5

   Strain, cool and refrigerate until ready to use.

6. 6

   (Note: Remember that if you are short on time, using a stock simmered 20 to 30 minutes is far better than using just water in any recipe.)
