Pike Chowder Supreme
Murray Martin
This will take some time, but it is time well spent.
- 1 pound of freshly caught pike fillets cut into stew-size pieces
- 2 ¼ cups boiling water
- 2 cups milk
- ¾ cup diced celery
- 1 ½ cups raw diced potatoes
- ½ cup thinly sliced carrots
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 white onion thinly sliced
- A pinch of tarragon
- A pinch of sage
- A pinch of thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook onions and celery until soft. Add potatoes, carrots, water, seasonings, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for no more than 15 minutes at most until vegetables are tender. Add fish and cook for about 10 minutes. Add milk. Reheat but do not bring to a boil. Serve and enjoy.
