Any good recipes for making a fish chowder with perch?

[littleoldlady]

  Sweetie is tired of trout...got some perch out of the freezer....I would like to make a nice chowder with it...any good recipes out there?

[littleoldlady]

Get yourself the new In-Fisherman cookbook that just came out or go to In-Fisherman's website and search for recipes.  They have a couple very good chowder recipes that work well with walleyes or perch or catfish. 

Thanks and will try that.

Thanks and will try that.

I've never made it, but my grandma would.  She says that all she does is switch up the clam for fish in her clam chowder.  She will not disclose her recipes...she says it's her legacy to pass.  But, she did say she'll do it with both her New England and Manhattan recipes, depending on what type of fish she's using.  I don't know if this helps at all, but thought I would add.  And having eaten both, they're pretty tasty.  That In-Fisherman site does have a lot of good recipes.

Hey, Nymph...I want to thank you...was going to try the same thing with my New England chowder recipe.  And I know how your
grandma feels about the family recipes; they fall under the total secrecy, "If I tell ya, then I gotta kill ya" act...sort of like giving out GPS locations
of THE LOCATION!!!.  I'll let  you know how it turns out....

I've had both with perch, whitefish, and walleye.  She would make it when there wasn't enough fish caught for everyone, but enough to put into chowder.  With eight kids, and me plus her and my grandpa, to feed, she got pretty creative with stretching the catch.  She's extremely secrective with her recipes too, but sometimes I think it's because she makes them up as she goes.

Small-minnow, I will do that...and your profile says that you are three...bless you, small one...that is how old I was when
I caught my first little rainbow.  Live long, fish well!!

This is a heck of an idea...with three young ones around here, we need 10-12 decent sized perch for a full meal...if the catching isn't as good (like last Sunday when it was all of one), we can still enjoy...now all I need to do is decide on a recipe to try.

Or alternately, Grump - you can look at using perch as taking chowdah to the next level

Grump, I took the esteemed Nymph's idea and turned out a supreme batch of chowder...and a tray full
of homemade biscuits....it was good...it was better than I expected...and most important....Sweetie was happy!
