Easy Instant Pot Fish Broth Recipe

This easy Instant Pot fish bone broth recipe is utterly delicious! Making your own broth saves you money, it’s nutritious and you know exactly what went into the broth, which is important nowadays! 

How To Make Fish Stock

Making fish stock is actually pretty simple! Once you make it, you are going to love to add it to stews, soups and all kinds of other recipes. You basically need a few ingredients to make a super savory fish bone broth.

You’ll want fresh fish heads, collars, bones, and tails. If you don’t have enough bones, I’ve supplemented with some frozen filets I had in the freezer. (Which I did today.)

Honestly though, the more heads, the better. For some reason, that’s where a lot of the flavor is, in my opinion.

You can add carrots, onions, celery, and other aromatics to your broth. I have the recipe below, but feel free to add or omit what according to your preferences! For the vegetables, there’s no need to make sure you use pretty ones.

Heck, throw the veggies in there whole, unpeeled, skins on. It adds more flavor!

When the cooking time is up, simply strain and then store it in a jar with a lid, or in a freezer-safe container to freeze if you’re not going to use it right away! Super simple, right?

Benefits Of This Fish Broth Recipe

There are so many reasons to add this fish stock recipe to your diet. I wanted to take a minute to go over some of the benefits of eating and drinking the fish broth. 

• Contains lots of Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Omega-3 has been linked to helping lower blood pressure, potentially helps reduce the risk of depression, and even help with arthritis. Not to mention the fact that it’s excellent for your heart too. 
• It’s good for your brain! If you want to improve your memory and help your brain function, drink up! 
• Great source of calcium. Keep your teeth and bones in tip-top shape from consuming calcium regularly. 
• Fish stock has lots of minerals that your body needs. Magnesium, iodine, cobalamin, and calcium are just a few. 

Benefits Of Adding Aromatics

Aromatics are essential when it comes to making broth at home, whether it’s fish broth or something else. Naturally, they make the stock smell great, but they also add flavor and nutrients too. Here are some of the benefits are:

• Carrots – They are perfect for adding to any broth because they have lots of potassium, vitamin K, beta carotene, fiber, and more. 
• Celery – Celery has been known to reduce inflammation, has antioxidants, and it’s full of nutrients like folate, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. 
• Onions – Onions are pretty much a superfood! They don’t just add bold flavors to your food; they also have fiber, protein, calcium, iron, and folic acid. 

 

How To Use Fish Broth

There are several ways you can use fish broth to get the benefits and yummy flavors. Try it any of these ways:

Drink it straight. Trust me when I tell you that it is so good. I know if you aren’t a fan of fish, it might seem strange, but it’s loaded with flavor! If you are feeling a little under the weather, sipping on warm fish broth will help you to feel better. 

Add it to soups or chowders. Use it as the base for any of your broth-based soups or chowders. It will give you tons of nutrients and adds character to the dish. 

Freeze it into ice cubes. Simply, pour this fish broth recipe into as many ice trays as you wish. Freeze them solid, then pop them out and put them in a freezer bag. Then just grab a cube whenever you need it and use them to help steam or poach fish, saute any shrimp, and you can pretty much add it to any of your favorite seafood recipes.
