Canadian Walleye Chowder

[Pikeslayer8]

On those days when the weather is tough, you know, when ya gotta pee on your fingers just to re-tie a knot, I like to warm up with Walleye Chowder.

 

This recipe is simple and forgiving, perfect for us camp chefs in the bush

 

For 8 hungry fishermen

 

Ingredients:

2 -17" walleyes, filleted and diced into 1/2 cubes or so

6 or 7 cans of cream of potato soup

1# bacon

1 or 2 large onions diced

5 or 6 stalks celery diced

Heavy cream or 1/2 & 1/2 or milk

Tobassco

 

Cook the bacon crisp and set aside. Retain half of the grease and put into the camp pot. First throw the diced celery and cook down about 2 minutes and then throw in the onion and cook down a bit more. (Not quite clear) Add the cubed walleye and cut the heat some. At this point a beer is highly recommended. Put all the canned soup in and use your cream to clean out the remnants left in the can. I often use the cream 1/2 & 1/2 and milk as not to stress the supply of my dairy. Crumble the bacon and toss in. Cook this on low heat for about 15 more minutes making sure it doesn't stick too bad on the bottom of the crappy camp pot. Give her several shots of tobassco and put the bottle on the table. I want more.

I like to garnish with green onion on top of each bowl served.

Enjoy. Man o man it just doesn't get any better.

Mmmmm. All I need is some walleye and a bib. Like the recommendation of fluids whilst cooking, gotta stay hydrated.

My preferred accompaniment is biscuits. Bisquick and milk is all you need. Easy at a cottage, bit tougher on a fly-in.

Gee, I don't know if two 16"ers will work. Might want to play it safe and go with three 15"ers.

 

Thanks for the kind words.
