catfish chowder

August 19, 2019

There seems to be no end in what can be done here.  Some are spicier than others.  I  chose a less spicy version, and avoided corn or lima beans.


I started with a slice of pork shoulder that had been cooked in the slow cooker a while back.  This added both pork taste and the fat, but I did not do too much and cut it in small chunks.  I sautéed it in a bit of palm oil..
Meanwhile, I cut potatoes and did them in the deep fryer just enough to brown them.  I added chopped onion.
Spices included paprika, regular and smoked, black pepper with most of that put in the pan of warming almond milk.  I cut a bit of celery into small bits, but did not cook that enough, so it stayed crunchy.
I also added a small amount, perhaps a quarter cup, of half and half.
I cut up the catfish pieces into small pieces.  I sautéed the fish for just a little while, not wanting to
cook it up.
Then I added the hot potatoes, etc and some paprika and black pepper.
I cooked it just long enough to get it edibly warmed.  I tested the fish to see it was done.

I ate it.  Elizabeth ate it too.  It was good.  It needed salt, but she used her regular salt and I used the Benson's.

I wished that I had doubled what I made.  It was very good.
However, it will be easy enough to make again.

Catfish pieces at Shop Rite sell for a little over two dollars a pound.  These are slices of
belly left from filleting the fish.  There was no hint of fishiness, and it all cooked up just fine.
A piece of Hanaford low salt multigrain bread was very good added to the bowl when served.

I suppose next I should try adding Asiago cheese.
