Answer 1

Well, if the seafood you use is fresh, there will be no fishy smell.

For shrimp stock, you are going to want to saute some onions until translucent, and then add some shrimp shells until they turn red. Proportion the onions and shells to the amount of stock you want to make. Then, add your water, and any other vegetables you want. I use a simple mirepoix, which is onions, celery, and carrot. Also add some thyme, peppercorns, and a bay leaf. Tie the spices up in some cheese cloth, or a coffee filter tied up. Simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour. Salt to taste.

For fish stock, just put fish bones, vegetables, water, and herbs in a pot and simmer for the same time.

Answer 2

the best thing to do is to boil it with water and salt.
