What does FUMET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A concentrated stock, especially made from fish, used to add flavour to a sauce.
A fumet is a strongly flavoured liquid that a cook builds by simmering fish bones, vegetables and wine together until the taste concentrates, then strains and reduces further to enrich a dish. Classic French kitchens keep a fish fumet on hand precisely because a plain liquid lacks the depth needed for a delicate seafood dish, and the same technique is sometimes applied to game or mushrooms. Older hunting manuals also used fumet for the strong scent, or droppings, of game such as deer, a sense chefs borrowed when they wanted a word for rich taste.
