things people ask

• How many grams in a cup of fish broth?
  Roughly 244 g per US cup, per USDA SR. Homemade fumet from bones and shells lands very close to that figure; a heavily reduced fish glace will weigh a touch more because the water content drops as gelatin concentrates. For paella or bouillabaisse, the difference is invisible — measure by volume and trust the recipe.
• How much fish broth do I need for paella or risotto?
  A 4-serving seafood paella typically uses 3 to 4 cups (around 730-975 g) of fish broth, added hot in stages so the rice toasts before it absorbs liquid. Seafood risotto runs about 4 cups for 1.5 cups of arborio. Keep the broth at a bare simmer beside the pan so each ladle doesn't drop the rice's temperature.
• Can I substitute clam juice or chicken stock cup-for-cup?
  By weight, yes — bottled clam juice and chicken stock both run within a few grams of fish broth per cup. Flavor is another matter: clam juice is saltier and more mineral, so cut it with water (half and half) for delicate fumet uses. Chicken stock works in a pinch for chowder but flattens bouillabaisse.
