Review Body: It was great! Simple and straight forward-- I excluded celery and added a thumb sized piece fo fresh ginger for my purposes. 10/10 would make again and recommend!

Review Body: So fantastic and simple! Made this on a whim when they included the boney bits of my red snapper from the store. I was making a red coconut curry with snapper fillets for dinner. I halved the recipe because I only had the head and bones of one fish. The plan was just to make this along side and the divide and freeze it as a base for later, but after tasting it (WOW!), I used about half in my own dish instead of water. Full disclosure, for my own dish I also simmered about a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, chopped. I also didn't have any celery, but it came out beautifully anyway, so it's a good one for those who can't stand the stuff. Perfection before, perfection after-- with a zing! Would make this again and highly recommend!
