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.
