Not fishing today, so I stayed warm and made chowdah using some recently harvested walleye fillets.
I have plenty of fillets, so I thought I'd take a break from tacos... ;D.
Plus, I lived in Boston for three years, and I miss CHOWDAH!
I posted the recipe over in the Hardwater Cuisine section (https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=379771.0).
Hit the spot on a cold day like today. Let me know if you try it out!

I had some great seafood up in NH. Also loved fishing Winni. My favorite bass pond is up near Concord.
Looks wonderful. Great presentation, too. :thumbsup:
Thanks! :)

Looks delicious Nate 🤤

Hey Nate, Do you think it makes a difference between using Fish or Chicken broth?

Probably, yes. I think the better option would be fish stock, as that’s the traditional recipe. But all I had today was chicken, and it turned out pretty dang good anyway!

Yessir looks fine! And I will make some next week. Have 1 or 2 eye fillets lying around-
-
Looks great! I will be making this. Getting ready to make some baked walleye. Not enough time for anything else since I just got back from...fishing.

You got me thinking about soups when you mentioned the one you made last year. This one turned out great
Nice looks good
Thanks, Brian! You fish up North yet this season?

:o :o :o Looks Great!!!! My recipe is pretty much the same, I should make a batch its been awhile and I always mean to but never do. Love your food pics!

Great looking comfort food, especially delicious on a cold and windy day! Just had some this week with some thick cut toasted and buttered French bread. I’ll have to give that recipe a try, thanks for sharing Nate.

My wife makes a killer trout chowder that looks fairly similar and tastes great!

That looks yummy!

love making fish chowders. perfect way to use a small catch and make dinner.
ill tell you one thing about fish chowder I learned. its 10 times better with fish stock! I cant buy fish stock here so I have to make it. I love to cook and experiment and that brought this on. wife loved my fish stew/chowder until she came home early from work one day and caught me making stock. lol hey its unsettling to some but its just food. and the best flavored fish soups you can make!
if your interested- scale and scrub entire fish especially the head. fillet fish and remove and toss the skin. take the fish heads and carcasses and put them in a pot with water salt pepper onion celery and carrot. simmer them for 45min. or more if you want to. strain out all the bones of course and you are left wit the fish stock chok full of collagen and flavor!!! so much collagen in fact it will jell up in fridge like pork or chicken stock! its the best base for any fish soup/chowder. ill guarantee you will enjoy the ends results.
thx for your link
ah(read the link) I see you use chicken or fish stock in it already. nice chowder you got there brother. I have never seen fish stock in the store around here.

Thanks, Tim! I think I’ll be trying chowder with different fillets, to see which I like best. One thing I’ll say, is walleye doesn’t have a ton of fish flavor to hold up to the chowder. Bluegill or crappie might be good to test. When I fished Moosehead in ME, we kept a bunch of cusk (burbot) and my friend made one of the best fish chowders ever!

It’s perfect after a long cold day of ice fishing! I had some leftover yesterday.

That looks yummy!
Definitely! ;D

Agreed! Out here, I think Whole Foods carries some. I just didn’t have any.
