Snapper Stock
Fish stock from Snapper heads and frames.
Introduction
An easy recipe that makes a delicious fish stock from Snapper heads and frames.
You can often buy packaged Snapper heads and frames from super markets and fish markets for a decent price, in my case here I bought ~700g of heads and frames for 200 yen.
This is a really cost effective base for ramen and soups.

- Bowl
