BLACKFISH CHOWDER
I found this recipe on www.nyseafood.org after buying some fresh Blackfish from a market in Newport Beach, RI. Blackfish is also known as Tautog, and is firm bodied and mild flavored, somewhat like Sea Bass. The chowder is thick, creamy, and a little sweet. Try using needle-nose pliers to pull out the Blackfish bones. You'll want to get them all before you cut up the fish. Ironically, I can't find Blackfish near my home, so I substitute Sea Bass. It works well. Let me know if you find another fish that works.

[email protected]I accidentally used canned tomatoes instead of fresh. It wasn't bad, but I think fresh tomatoes would have been better.

[email protected]This blackfish chowder recipe is a keeper! The flavor is rich and seafood forward with a slightly smoky undertone from the bacon.
