Instructions: Fishmongers will readily provide a selection of fresh trimmings (you probably need about 1 kg) from larger fish (which should include bones but also heads) particularly if you give them notice. Ask them not to include oily fish. Rinse everything and proceed as in the recipe for chicken stock but cook for only 30 minutes (and no more otherwise it may become bitter).
