Recipes that use fish stock?
My daughter worked at a fish market for a while, and I couldn't resist the lure of free fish heads. I made a lot of fabulous fish stock (Fumet de Poissons). We go through our homemade chicken, pork, and beef stock regularly, but not the fish stock. I have 5-6 quarts of it in the freezer, and I seldom find a recipe that uses more than a cup or two. Many seafood soup recipes generate their own stock. Anyone care to share a recipe that requires fish stock?

Risotto! Recipes are easy to find, but of all the various risotti, the seafood ones are my faves.

There are tons on FN. Emeril uses fish stock a lot. Narrow it down by checking out the 5 star recipes.

Bouillabaise (sp?) & cioppino are always better if you have fish stock and not just the stock generated by the seafood in the recipe.
Lobster potpie!!!!!
Have you ever heard of Michael Mina? San Fran based chef (Nobhill, Michael Mina's, probably more) with great seafood recipes. His lobster potpie is delicious.

If you broil\bake fish you can always use the stock as a base for a sauce. Light Roux, tbsp of chopped shallots and your stock. Sprinkle some parsley in for color.

Paella
someone else posted a question about paella and I thought about your fish stock--the two of you should get together! LOL.

Thanks, folks! The risotto was one I hadn't thought of - great idea. I've made some sauce for grilled fish, but maybe we just need to eat *more* grilled fish. The paella and lobster potpie ideas makes me drool, but are too pricey just now. I will watch for a lobster sale.
