Ric, where do you get the fish stock? Buy it or make it?

Either/or is ok.. though making it is the better option, if you can.. Here's a good article about fish stock

I happened to catch an episode of Alton Brown last night and he made chicken stock. Who'd a thunk there was more to learn about chicken stock??? I love me some Alton Brown.

I watched Rachel Ray make chicken stock just last week, I thought you boiled a chicken.............she threw tons of veggies in w/the chicken.........looked like it would make awesome broth,  actually.

Is chicken stock different than chicken broth?

I think it's the same.

I've always put veggies in my stock....carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peppercorns. I've also used a whole chicken then used the meat for soup, chicken salad or a casserole. As long as Alton cooked his stock, the meat may not be any good. He cooked his 6-8 hours and he didn't mention anything about the meat.

I looked up some other stock recipes on Food Network and Sara Moulton uses 4 pounds of chicken wings for her stock. She said that she's found that wings have the right proportion of meat to bone.  I think she cooked hers a couple of hours. I've always just cooked mine until the meat was done.

Most folks ARE a pinch of this, a bit of that type cooks. And really, I tend to like my own cooking creations rather than follow a recipe to the letter a la RR or Bett C....

But.. I AM glad I learned to cook etouffe' and gumbo years ago. I don't experiment too much with those.. :)

No, we're not...

I'm one of those "deliberate" cooks.  I follow the recipe to the very last word.  If it calls for one teaspoon of olive oil, then that's what's going in the pot.  I've always been that way.  Never could break away from the security of notes and directions...:eyes:

Broth is usually veggies and meat with bones.

Stock is more just the leftover bones and few veggies.

I think.  I know that is the difference, but not remembering which is which.

I looove to watch AB cook. He breaks it down and explains all the ways one can use an ingredient.
I am also a 'looks good' cook. I haven't met a recipie YET I can't tweek.

Well, if its something I've never attempted before, I'll do that. After that, sometimes a little improvision improves a dish. IMHO....

But.. if it goes awry, I have noone to blame but myself. And it does happen..

(ex.- not EVERYTHING tastes better because of Greek Seasoning... :smile:)
