Scandinavian Fiskefond (Nordic Fish Stock)

Origin: Scandinavia broadly (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). A light fish stock built from white fish bones and trimmings, simmered briefly with dill, white wine, and root vegetables, reflecting the region’s strong culinary emphasis on fish and seafood.

Flavor Profile: Delicate and clean with a distinct dill aroma setting it apart from other European fish stocks.

Culinary Uses: Base for Nordic fish soups and cream-based fish sauces; poaching liquid for delicate white fish preparations.

Regional Variations: Some versions incorporate shellfish shells (shrimp, crab) alongside fish bones for a more complex, sweeter stock.

Storage: Refrigerate 1–2 days given the fish content; freezes well for a couple of months.

Notes: Contains fish (and sometimes shellfish) — flag for allergen purposes.
