    Halibut Chowder - made today!

    Made it today w/my mother - a cajun from New Orleans.

    Similar but little variation from Smokepole - thanks.

    Sorry no pics, but flavor impressed


    1 lb bacon - cut about 1/4" chunks

    Cook crisp, drain most of grease off leaving a tad - 'wet pot'

    Celery - dice enough of a bunch to yield about 1 1/2 - 2 cups
    Green Onion - Diced one whole
    Minced Garlic - 3 Tb

    Cook all that down w/bacon and add:

    6 Tsp Chicken Bouillon - w/3 cups water
    2 8-oz bottles of Clam Juice

    Bring to a boil

    Peel/Dice and add 6-8 potatos (I used red - small/medium)

    Boil another 10-15 minutes till tender.

    Dice and add 2 1/2 lbs. Halibut (I cut small about 1/3")

    Season w/Ragin Blaze Cajun seasoning (thanks CajunBlake)
    Add salt if/as desired (Ragin Blaze low sodium)
    Add pepper if/as desired

    Then add 2 quarts Half/Half Cream
    Add potato flakes to thicken as desired (flour can be substituted).

    Add 2 handfuls Parsley.

    You can add fresh cracked black pepper and hot sauce i.e. Tobasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce as you wish - once in your bowl. Also, can serve w/Croutons or similar.

    My mother helped who has a LONG history of cajun cooking experience being from New Orleans. This is good stuff gang.

    Enjoy!
