Step 1: Combine the fish trimmings and all other ingredients in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; skim off any discoloured froth that comes to the top.
Step 2: Lower the heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes; do not over boil the fish bones as this will create a gluey stock.
Step 3: Strain the stock through a cheesecloth lined strainer; return the stock to the pot and simmer a further 15 to 30 minutes, reducing it to the desired consistancy; add salt to taste.
