I use St Ours Clam Broth. It is a powder so I keep it in my pantry when a recipe calls for clam juice or fish stock.
Do you have Knorr products in your shops? Knorr do a concentrated fish "Stockpot" which is good. IIRC there are 8 in a pack. They do cubes as well but I prefer the Stockpots.Hey everyone. I have a recipe for seafood gumbo and it calls for 7 cups of fish stock. I don't want to make my own and I've looked at Wal-mart (its our only grocery store) and I can't find it. So I was wondering what can I use to substitute it. Someone told me Veg stock (paste) and fish oil. But they went by taste for substitutions and couldn't give me amounts. Anyone know how much I would need?
Here's the recipe by the way.

This may not help you with your immediate need, but I save all the shells, in bags in the freezer, from the shrimp I use for other dishes. When I've accumulated quite a few, I put them in a pan with some chopped onion, a little celery (with leaves), a bit of chopped carrot and just a touch of salt and freshly ground black pepper and cover with water. I simmer everything for, oh maybe, about 45 minutes. Then I strain it and have some pretty good shrimp stock to use when a recipe calls for a fish stock. If I don't use the stock right away, it gets frozen in 1-cup quantities.
Knorr (a Swiss firm widely available in UK so probably in the US) make concentrated fish "Stockpots" and fish stock cubes which are passable if you put more water to them than recommended on the packetHey everyone.
