I love Cley Smokehouse, buying far more smoked fish there than sensible. I ate lots of whole, unfilleted fish, leaving lots of quality fishy debris - mostly skin and bones... perfect for fish stock. Stage 1 of fish soup production.

I drained the stock, threw in finely chopped vegetables, herbs, boiled and boiled. Unfortunately, without a whirly, liquidising zodger thing, I had to push it through a sieve to make it smooth. I wasn’t fully rewarded. I hate fishbones (remember kippergate?), but like cats, they’re unwelcomely attracted to me. The soup was delicious, but only I was blessed with unwelcome extras.
