Hi, Debby, I'm thinking what the author means is if you don't have 2 quarts fish stock (8 cups, liquid measures rather than dry measures) you should use the equivalent amount of water plus a chopped onion and lemon juice to give it a good flavor.

Hi everyone! I'm proofreading CookWise The Hows & Whys of Successful Cooking with over 230 Great-Tasting Recipes by Shirley O. Corriher. In the recipe: Triple-Layered Fillets in Golden Beurre Blanc on page 299, one line has something I can't figure out. Otherwise, it is a beautiful scan. How much water is called for? The line is: About 2 quarts Fish Stock (page 269) o: water with 1 onion, quartered, and 1 lemon, quartered Thanks a lot!
