In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes more. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the fish stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, then strain the stock and discard the solids.
