Fish Chowder

 

 

                  2 lbs. Poached fish (Halibut,  Sole, or  Rock Cod )

                  1/2 cup Chopped Onions

                  1/4 cup Butter

                  1/2 cup Flour

                  1 qt. of Half & Half

                  1 cup of Poaching Liquid

                  1 tsp. Grated Lemon Peel

                  1 tsp. Paprika

                  1/2 tsp. White Pepper

                  3 Hard Cooked Egg Yolks-chopped

 

 

              Any of the fishes (listed above) will work very well or you can

              use a mixture of these fishes.

              In a large pan sauté onions in butter until tender add the

              poaching liquid, lemon peel, pepper, paprika, and flour. Mix the

              flour into mixture slowly to avoid the lumping of flour. When

              mixture is smooth slowly add Half & Half. Cook this mixture until

              it thickens-if too stiff the mixture can be thinned with a small

              amount of good white wine or a little more of poaching liquid.

              When the mixture has thickened to your liking add the flaked fish

              meat and chopped egg yolks and continue to cook until heated

              through. Chowder is now ready to serve. You can garnish with

              chopped green onion, chopped parsley or grated shredded yellow

              cheese.
