Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds blackfish fillets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups fish stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the blackfish fillets, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the fish stock and add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add the blackfish pieces to the pot and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to heat through, but do not let it boil.
Season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
