things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of fish broth?
  About 15.25 g per US tablespoon. That's effectively the same as a tablespoon of water, because fumet is largely water with a small fraction of dissolved solids. If you're working from a reduced glace de poisson, the same volume will weigh slightly more and pack much more flavor — adjust by taste.
• How much broth do I need to deglaze a pan after searing fish?
  Two to four tablespoons (30-60 g) is usually enough for a 10-inch pan. Pour it in once you've removed the fillets and the fond is just starting to darken, scrape with a wooden spoon, and reduce by half before mounting with butter. More liquid than that and you'll be waiting too long for the sauce to tighten.
• Can I use a tablespoon of fish broth in a salad dressing or mignonette?
  Yes — a tablespoon (about 15 g) of cold fumet adds savory depth to a shallot-and-vinegar mignonette for oysters, or to a vinaigrette for a seafood salad. Use it sparingly and balance with acid; fish broth is gentle but it will read fishy if it dominates a delicate dressing.
