things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of fish broth?
  About 5.08 g per US teaspoon, essentially equal to a teaspoon of water. The dissolved gelatin and salt content of a finished fumet only nudge the density up by a fraction of a percent, so for cooking purposes you can treat 1 tsp = 5 g and move on.
• How much broth do I add to thin a stiff fish mousse or quenelle mix?
  Start with 1 teaspoon (5 g) of cold fumet per cup of mousse base, fold it in, then test by poaching a small dumpling. Quenelles need a mix loose enough to drop from a spoon but firm enough to hold shape. Adding broth a teaspoon at a time prevents the proteins from breaking and the texture turning grainy.
• Can a teaspoon of fish broth replace water in an Asian fish soup or hot pot?
  Yes, especially when finishing a dashi-based broth or a Thai tom yum talay where you want to lift the seafood note without adding bulk. A teaspoon stirred in at the end deepens the umami; any more and you risk muddying a clean dashi. Taste before you add a second spoon.
