Tried this for the first time and was extremely pleased. I changed things up a bit, used the 2lbs of fish but everything else i used 1 and a half times. Example is the 2 cups of milk needed I used 3, the chicken stock I used 3 cups for more "soup" juice. I also added paprika and a few dashes of cyan pepper. Didn't have white wine but did use Moscato and that little bit of sweetness can be tasted but was a nice touch actually. I also added a little more flour at the end to thicken it up to my liking. One thing I would recommend would be to ad the fish in AFTER everything is cooked and thickened up a little. The next time I make this I will add the fish when i turn the heat OFF, it does not take long for fish to over cook a bit and flake apart.

I am so happy I found this recipe! We fish a lot, and were sick of the same ole fried fish. I made this with walleye and bass (that's what we caught!) and the chowder was just wonderful. The only thing I left out was the corn (I didn't have any). I like my food to look good, and all the veggies made this nice and colorful. Thanks!

I’m over the hill and heading down the back side at a rapid rate it seems, single, and retired now.
My loves? Good friends, most of all. After that I guess it would be wildlife and photographing it. In fact, I love anything that deals with wild animals and the outdoors. Then comes playing with my dog and making a mess trying to cook in the kitchen or around the fire pit, grill or smoker while enjoying a good tumbler of whiskey (whisky).
