fish soup

i was craving some fish soup so i decided to call my grandmother and ask for some directions on making the soup. came out pretty good just a little watery today, she warned me not to use too much water but i had no clue on how much water to use. im guessing it will taste better as the week goes on and i keep re warming it. might add some scallops and shrimp tomorrow.

Fish soup is still very foreign to many people today. But if done right,
it's delicious! A big hot bowl of good fish soup on a cold rainy night served with ciabatta bread is delisioso!

Next time, add the fish head to the soup, it intensifies the flavor. Fish soup will cure whatever ails you...AdiosViagra!
Good post!!

I think the key for any soup is as little water is possible. Just enough to cover the bones and head (you need a lot of bones and head for a lot of soup). I use a pressure cooker to minimize steam and evaporation.

I usually make the broth first in the cooker, strain and then add the goodies to avoid over cooking. You know trader joes sell "better than bullion" fish stock (and others) and it's good stuff. Add a bit of that to enhance your soup.

Good work using what many of us just throw away.

My dad loves fish head soup. He always asks for the heads and everyone else can eat the rest of the fish. Mom buys lots of fish heads at the market. Yes she gets the looks from most people as they tend to throw heads away. Then she makes the soup... The soup is very easy to make and it taste great. In Russian its called poor fisherman soup. Where diffrent fish goes in with potatoes onion salt and peper, With lots of heads(fisherman sold the good cuts and keeped the heads). They used to make it in a big pot on the beach. You can make it with fresh water or salt water fish. But don't mix the two for some reason it never tastes right. I made it with some bass I got and it was soooo good. If anyone is intrested Next time mom makes it I would post pics and recipe.
