I followed this recipe to the letter yesterday. This is the most fantastic fish chowder ever!

This stuff sounds great. Only problem with the article is that the picture doesn't match the recipe. The last thing in step one says toss the solid which includes the onions, celery and carrots. If they get tossed out how come they're in the chowder in the picture?

Seadog, glad to see I'm not the only one that pays attention to the detail. And yeah, I plan to save the veggies too. Sure looks as good as it sounds from the recipe.

I think they should change the recipe. Because not all people pay attention to detail. If you look at the picture you can see all the veggies in there but it says to toss out the solids!!! Just think of what it would taste like without the veggies!!! There is alot of people out there that are just going to follow the recipe, and get rid of the veggies!! Help them make it right

I think that it's written in 'chef-speak'. One batch of veggies for the corn stock (stalk?). Stirfry them until well carmalized (icky looking dark brown Maillard reaction color) for stock flavour. I'd even cook the cobs at the end of the veggie fry. Then add the water to simmer. Strain and toss those veggie bits that survived. Another batch cooked for the final chowder.

chowder is amazing and that looks delicious.

really really good, not too much work. got to go fishing again!

My comments as well to your Website:
I don't think that Kristyn Brady is a cook!
She probably thinks that the recipe was proof read and just told me that it was correct. However, all one has to do is to look at the picture versus the recipe and also know one would not throw the veggies out.

However, it is a great recipe with only the cobs thrown out!

I cannot believe that the recipe designer decided to throw away the onions, carrots, and celery.
I did not discard them and the Chowder was wonderful. I did throw away the corn cobs.

great food.

thanks for your quick response.

Hi Jim,

Sorry for the confusion. The onion, celery, and carrots are discarded with the stock, so that the only solids in the chowder are the corn, bacon, potatoes and fish. Best of luck in the kitchen!

I love to fish for panfish and I love to eat them so I had to try this recipe. Usually, I'm a follow it to the letter recipe type of guy but not this time. I could not bring myself to throw out the delious vidalia onions, carrots and celery. I place them in a bowl on the sid and tried the dish with and without them. Thank goodness I saved them. It was much better with the veggies. Great recipe and I plan to make it a lot with different variations.
