a good day for a bad day

I have never wished I was having a bad day but today when I was whacking fish skeletons into manageable pieces for fish stock, I knew this would be a great way to relieve the tension of a stressful/bad day. We received a big black bag full of fish skeletons with lots of smelly fish juice dripping off the sides from the Fish Room (where I was in class two weeks ago) that we turned into a wonderfully flavored liquid called fumet. The difference between fumet and fish stock is that you sweat the bones and mirepoix first in hot butter and then you add the water, whereas with fish stock you just add bones and mirepoix straight to cold water.
