Grandpa Alvah's Fish Chowder image

We live next door to my grandpa-in-law who will make this chowder for us every once in a while. He makes the absolute best! While this is his recipe, I can't quite get mine to taste as good as his. He tells me that when Im 91 like him, my chowder will then be as good. If you like your chowder a little thicker, you can substitute 1 cup of half and half for 1 cup of milk or add a little extra evaporated milk. This chowder will taste even better if made a day ahead and allowed to "set" overnight. When reheating, do it slowly so as not to boil.

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 lb salt pork
2 medium onions, diced
4 cups potatoes, diced
1 -2 cup water
2 lbs haddock
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 -3 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Fry the diced salt pork in a large pot until golden in color.
  • Remove salt pork scraps and set aside.
  • Add onions and cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
  • Place diced potatoes on top of onions and add enough water so it comes up to the top of the potatoes.
  • Place fish on top of potatoes.
  • Season with pepper, salt and add butter.
  • Bring to a boil and then lower heat to low and simmer until fish and potatoes are cooked.
  • You want to stir as little as possible, and very gently because the fish should remain in fairly large pieces.
  • (You do not want the fish all flaked apart and especially not all mushy) Pour in evaporated milk and regular milk.
  • Heat thoroughly, but do not bring to a boil.
  • Serve reserved pork scraps sprinkled on top of chowder or on the side.
  • Chowder will be better if allowed to sit overnight.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover fish. I usually make it with salmon, but it's also good with cod or haddock.
