What is a good substitute for lobster stock?!


Question: What is a good substitute for lobster stock!?
I'm making a seafood risotto tonight that calls for lobster stock!. In the past, I've used Better than Bouillon Lobster Base to make my stock but the base I had has gone bad and none of the local stores seem to carry the Lobster Base!. As a substitute, I've thought about using canned lobster bisque and adding water to it, or using a Kitchen Basics Natural Seafood Cooking stock!. Any thoughts or suggestions!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I would buy some lobster or crab bisque and some veggie stock!. Cook the riso with the veggie stock and before it is fully done add the either bisque to finish cooking the riso and you may not need to add any butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can buy fish stock in most supermarkets, as far as I know!. If you can't find it in the regular supermarket, an Asian supermarket will definitely have it!. It is called "DASHI" and is a common base for Japanese noodle soups with soy sauce and other ingredients!.

I'm pretty sure this type of stock is perfect for what you're doing!. It will be in a blue packet (yellow is usually chicken and green vegetable)!.

If you can't find it on the normal shelves, try the ethnic shelves of the supermarket!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boil some shrimp in a very small amount of water!. Chop the shrimp in very tiny pieces first using your food processor!. Add some onions, garlic and celery, a bottle of clam juice a bay leaf and some dill weed, white pepper!. Reduce it on the stovetop to desired amount of stock!. Takes about 2 hours to do this!. Strain the chunks out and there you have it!.!Www@FoodAQ@Com
