Walleye Chowder

[BlueLundFishrman]

1 lb walleye, cut into chunks

1 stick butter

1 onion,finely chopped

2 cans diced potato

1 can diced carrot

1 can chicken broth

3.5 cups milk

1 can kernel corn

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 lb bacon, cooked & cut into smaller pieces

In heavy saucepan, melt butter. Add onion, potato, & carrots. Cook over medum heat, stirring occassionally for 5 minutes. Add broth, cover & simmer until veggies are nearly tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in milk, fish, corn & bacon. Simmer 5-10 minutes. Add salt & pepper to taste.

You can add other things to your liking. I think I've added asparagus tips in the last 5-10 minutes also. Celery as mentioned in another thread is also good to add, put in when you add the taters and carrots. Next time I make it I'm gonna add some chopped spinach to it.

this sounds great....only thing i am wondering is do you prep the fish before combining..(ie boil, bake, fry?)

[BlueLundFishrman]

no, it will cook in the chowder, no need to cook the fish ahead of time. Don't make the pieces of fish too small, the walleye falls apart pretty easy. I suppose I cut them into about 1 to 1.5-inch chunks. I normally "zip" the red line out also.

Sounds a lot like a recipe a friend prepares for us during our annual fishing trip to Canada. He calls his Kalamojakka. It's a finish recipe and when I search the net I find there are a lot of variations.

I will tell you that it is excellent!

This isn't the forum to be looking at when you're hungry. The chowder sounds great. Just took out a package of walleye to try it out.

This is exactly the forum to look at when you're hungry . I often come here when I can't figure out what to make for supper.
