What it is

Seafood stock is a liquid made by simmering fish or shellfish bones, shells, and other parts in water. This process extracts flavor and nutrients from the seafood components, creating a base for various dishes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use seafood stock to add a rich, savory seafood flavor to foods. It is commonly found in soups, chowders, bisques, sauces, and seafood-based pasta or rice dishes.

Health notes

Seafood stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated seafood derivatives, but specific evaluations for seafood stock are not widely documented. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption.

Allergen info

Seafood stock is derived from fish or shellfish, which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not gluten-containing unless other ingredients are added.
