Fish Chowder

1 pochero need not be intimidating to do as long as you follow these steps.

Recipe Summary Fish Chowder

The fishermen of Bodega Bay, California shared this favorite, quick and easy recipe with my sister during a Fish Festival. It is one of the best chowders I've had, and my kids love it too! We top with bacon bits and a few shakes of hot sauce for a little spice. Enjoy!

2 tablespoons butter

2 cups chopped onion

4 fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 stalk celery, chopped

⅛ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM, or to taste

salt to taste

In a large stockpot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Saute onions, mushrooms and celery in butter until tender.

Add fish, and simmer another 10 minutes.

Mix together clam juice and flour until smooth; stir into soup and simmer for 1 minute more. Season to taste with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat, and stir in evaporated milk. Top each bowl with crumbled bacon, if desired.
