1.5Kg Fish Trimmings (Skin and Bones but not from oily fish, ask your local fish monger for these or just use cheap fish)

1 Celery Stick
1 Bay Leaf
6 Parsley Stalks
10 Black Peppercorns
475ml Dry White Wine
1.8l Water

1 Meat Cleaver (use the sharp knife if you have no cleaver but be extra careful)
1 Chopping Board
1 Sieve
Muslin
1 Wooden Spoon
The Good Bit
- whack all the ingredients into the pan and slowly bring to the point just below the boil and simmer for 20mins
- Remove any scum from from the surface and then strain through the muslin lined sieve, allow to cool before refrigerating.
- This will last 2-3 days in the fridge before you need to reboil it, if freezing it, then boil rapidly and condense the liquid to half, then when you want to use the stock, defrost half the amount the recipe says and make the rest up with water.
