So what do you guys hoard, or make yourself, or keep as a byproduct of other dishes. Crabby reminded me of this when the mentioned fish stock. So what do you keep that you can't buy or is too expensive to buy? I keep homemade fish stock, duck fat, bacon fat and pickled red onions.

Broccoli stems sound like a good idea, I usually buy fresh broccoli and then cut off the florets. I usually cook my shrimp with the shells on, just to add the flavor, so that one's out.

Fish stock from racks, Turkey stock from Thanksgiving carcass, bacon fat, and you guessed it, lobster tomalley and carcass for bisque and tomato sauce.

Bacon fat, chicken stock including canning my own due to lack of freezer space, and my favorite for sauteing any veggies is ham bone fat from making stock.

I freeze it in little containers. I use the duck fat when I make fried potatoes and the bacon fat when I make some cuts of pork and when I make Brussel sprouts. Sometime I also use the bacon fat in some other dishes.

Duck fat is gold!
