Fish Chowder

There's nothing like a good fish stew or chowder and this is an easy one to make. For the fish in this, a good firm fish such as cod, haddock or hake is ideal.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Cup onion (chopped)


• 4 Cups potatoes (peeled and cubed)


• 1 Tbsp. salt


• 1/8 Tbsp. pepper


• 5 Cups raw fish (cut into 3/4-inch cubes)


• 1 Qt. boiling water


• 2 Cups milk


• 1 Cup half-and-half


• 1 Tbsp. parsley or chives

Add potatoes, onions, salt and pepper to water. Cook about 10 minutes until vegetables are soft but not completely cooked. Reduce heat to med-high.

Add fish and cook for 10 minutes. Add milk and cream, stir and heat 15 minutes longer. Do not boil as it will curdle. Serve sprinkled with either parsley or chives.
