Description

Lobster stock is a concentrated and flavorful broth made by boiling lobster shells and meaty parts, along with vegetables and seasonings. It is a fundamental ingredient in seafood and gourmet cuisine, used to enhance the flavor of soups, rice dishes, sauces, and seafood stews.

Its origin comes from the culinary traditions of coastal regions, especially in European and American gastronomy, where lobster is a highly prized seafood. Lobster stock utilizes the less noble parts of the crustacean to extract an intense, sweet, and deep flavor that adds complexity to dishes.

Among its properties, its richness in minerals and enzymes from the seafood stands out, in addition to providing a natural aroma and flavor of fresh seafood. In home or professional preparation, it is recommended to make a clean, well-reduced stock to maximize its concentration and richness.

In different Hispanic American countries, lobster stock may also be known as lobster fond or lobster extract. However, the term "lobster stock" is the most common and understood in most regions.
