In order for the broth to have a truly rich flavor, there should be a lot of fish and its components. As a rule, you can take about 2.5 kg of cartilage, heads and tails for a traditional pot of soup.

However, you shouldn't do this. Try to cook the cartilage broth for no more than half an hour. If you added heads, the cooking time can be doubled.

When adding pieces of fish, it is worth remembering that due to long cooking they may simply fall apart.

Vegetables

The taste of fish is delicate and subtle, so other ingredients can easily interrupt it. Therefore, when cooking broth, it is worth limiting yourself to onions and carrots.

You can also add a little bit of spices to preserve the real taste of the fish broth.
