What it is

Fish stock is a liquid made by simmering fish bones, heads, and sometimes fish carcasses in water. It may also include aromatics like vegetables (e.g., onions, carrots, celery) and herbs. The simmering process extracts flavor and body from the fish parts.

Why it's used

Fish stock is primarily used to add a savory, seafood-like flavor to dishes. Manufacturers use it as a base for soups, stews, sauces, and seafood dishes. It provides a foundation of flavor that enhances the overall taste profile of the food.

Health notes

Fish stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and minerals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated fish stock, but did not establish a numeric acceptable daily intake. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Fish stock is derived from fish, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
