Fish Chowder Recipe

OK, onto some fish chowder recipes…

Easy Pike Chowder

1/2 Pound northern pike fillets

Chicken broth

8 Potatoes diced and peeled

8 Slices of diced bacon

4 Stocks of celery

2 Onions chopped

1/2 Cup of milk

1/2 Cup of cream

1/2 Tsp ground white pepper

Add a 50/50 water-chicken broth mixture to a pot. Make sure the mixture is enough to just cover the potatoes when added. Bring potatoes to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

Cook the bacon, celery and onion in a sauté pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until onions are soft and bacon is cooked. Add the onions, celery and bacon to the potato mixture.

Cut the northern pike fillets into large bite size chunks.

When the potatoes are soft and the broth is starting to get a milky appearance, add the fish chunks. Simmer until the fish is cooked throughout. Add cream and milk to bring the soup to the desired texture. Season with pepper and serve.

Northern Saskatchewan Chowder

1 Pound walleye fillets (the bigger the better)

1 Pound trout fillets

Black pepper

Cayenne pepper

4 Cups chicken stock

1/4 Pound diced bacon

2 Chopped onions

3 Large diced potatoes

1 Cup milk

1 Cup cream

Salt

1/8 Tsp cloves

Dash of Tabasco

Tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 pound of butter

2 Large seeded and chopped tomatoes

Thyme

Cut the walleye and trout fillets into cubes that are 1 inch by in inch. Sprinkle the pieces with thyme, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Set to the side.

Fry the bacon until cooked in a separate pan. Add onions and cook until they are soft (try to avoid browning).

In a large pot add the chicken stock and two cups of water. Bring to a simmer and then add the potatoes. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Add milk, cream, bacon, onions, cloves, remaining seasoning and chopped tomatoes to the pot. Simmer another 5 minutes. Taste and season to your preference.

Can be served immediately, but is best if refrigerated overnight and reheated the next day. Put a spoon of butter in each bowl and add the soup.
