What each ingredient does
- Fish
- Fish, especially bones and head, releases flavor and body into the broth as it cooks.
The step that matters
Simmer gently after the boil. Once the pot reaches a boil, lowering the heat to a gentle simmer keeps the broth clear and stops the delicate fish from breaking apart and turning cloudy.
