Fish

Bone

Mackerel bones and frames make a richer, oilier stock than white fish—useful for miso soups, robust chowders, and sauces that welcome fish fat. Roast lightly or use raw; skim carefully. Gill plates and bloodline trim can turn stock harsh if left dirty. Simmer gently and not too long. Cool and remove solidified fat if a lighter broth is wanted. Freeze frames promptly.
