fish soup
So it took 5 hours of slow simmer for this yellow tail parts and every vegetable from the La Mision street fest mixture to slowly mature into a good
tasting soup. So the question is, how soon should I freeze what is left? It is going to be so cold tonight that the stove top will be a refrigerator.

Freeze the amount of fish soup that you will not eat in the next 48 hours. It's an estimate.
If you use Gallon size zip lock freezer bags, you can thaw and store the soup more efficiently; you will be able to break off the exact amount you
want to thaw and it will be warmed up much faster.
Tell us your recipe, what parts of the yellow tail you used, which veggies worked best in your opinion and when, in the 5 hour simmering process , did
you put in which veggies, etc.
In October I made a fish soup to kill for. It was the first time I ever made a fish soup. Can hardly wait to get back to Baja to make it again as I
there is plenty of yellow tail and dorado in my freezer.

food safe
This was a food safety question. All I did was buy everything available at the swap meet. Yellow tail parts at a rip off price, parsley, cilantro,
onions, tomatoes, chills. I would have added garlic and ginger but there was none. This mix has to cook for hours before it tastes right. The more
greens you can put in it, the better it is going to be. I have to go back North and get my large stock pot.

Large stock pot...absolutely.
FWIW, the recipe I used was a yellow tail head, backbone carcass, water, half an onion, and simmered for about two and a half hours, covered of
course. Strained the liquid into another pot.
Sautéed cut up pasilla, celery, the bottom inch of the bottom end of the celery bunch, jalapeno, garlic and onion; added these sautéed veggiess to the
fish stock. added more fresh garlic to the pot, some cloves cut in half, some whole without peeling the skin off for slow timed flavor release. Added
the celery leaves from the middle of the celery bunch. Added cubed cuts of a peeled yellow Yukon potatoes (white rose potatoes would work as well).
Salt and pepper to taste, added some sage and thyme...not too much. Now, low slow boiled for about 10 minutes. Next, added some uncooked cut up fish
(cubed), then simmered for 20 to 30 minutes until veggies, fish and potatoes are done.
Turned out to be great soup...really intense flavor...surprising how much good fish flavor was captured. Can't wait to do it again.

More a chowder than a soup..
but I just made this and it was great:
1 medium yellow onion chopped fine
2 celery stalks finely chopped
1 Anaheim chille finely chopped
3 medium carrots in 1/4 inch dice
2 large cloves of garlic, grated
Sautee these in a little margarine for about 5 minutes then add 2 cans chopped (or whole) clams with their juice and about 1 tablespoon powdered
chicken base and 1 small can of corn. Simmer for about 1/2 hour.
Meanwhile dice up 1 large potato in 1/2" cubes, and the seafood. For mine I used:
12 medium shrimp cut in 1/3rds
12 divers scallops cut in 1/4ths
2 medium size ling cod fillets cut in 1/2" cubes
Add all of this to the pot and continue simmering for another 30 minutes then add about 1/2 quart of whole milk and a couples of pats of butter and
serve with crusty bread. Yummy!
