White Fish Bones and Heads

White Fish Bones and Heads are the heads and bony portions of freshwater white fish such as perch, pike and zander, commonly used in European and Nordic cuisines to make stocks, soups and fish sauces. They are valued for their strong seafood flavour and for yielding gelatinous, nutritious broths when simmered long. Nutritionally, White Fish Bones and Heads are a concentrated protein source with about 11g of protein per 100g and are low in fat and calories; they also contribute important micronutrients such as iodine, vitamin B12 and selenium. The bones and heads release collagen and minerals into stocks, making them a good way to boost mineral and protein content of soups and sauces. From a health perspective, these parts provide high-quality protein and a favourable fat profile while also being a practical way to increase intake of key seafood micronutrients. They are especially useful when you want to extract nutrients into a broth or use the stock as a flavourful, nutrient-dense base for dishes.
