Manhattan FISH chowder today, folks!

[FAUlty Gator]

I've posted it on here a few times and know a few of you make it but fornthe noobs I'll put it up again.

Of course, clam chowder is best New England style but when you get a nice firm fish that ca hold up to the acid in the tomatoes and saltiness of the stock, Manhatran fish chowder is great...and always better on Day 2. Today, I'm using Talapia. It's usually the best fish for it.

I will post the exact steps and times. St a timer for each step so it's easy to do as you go.

Here's exactly what I do:

*Finely chop onion, carrot and celery.
* cut 6-8 red potatoes with skin on into 3/4 inch pieces and set aside

* start onion, celery and carrot sweating in some olive oil over medium heat. *Add salt and pepper and stir with wooden spoon. (5 minutes). *Add garlic (2 minutes)

*Add a 28 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes. Re season by adding a bit of Old Bay and ITALIAN seasonings and 3 Bay Leaves and stir and let simmer for (3-4 minutes)

*Add two tablespoons of Tomato Paste and stir well to break up lumps.

*Add 64 ounces of Seafood Stock (two Swanson boxes). You can make your own with fish heads and bones or shrimp shells and freeze it in ice cube trays but the box stuff is fine. If you can't find seafood stock, Bar Harbor makes Clam Juice which works pretty good in a pinch. *Fill a box with water and add 32 ounces of water to the pot. *ADD THE POTATOES * Cover and bring to a boil.

*After its boiling stir and reduce heat to low and put cover back on (45 minutes).

*Add a can of corn with the water. (10 minutes)

* Add some dashes of hot sauce of your preference. I use Sriachi.

TASTE AND CHECK YOUR SEASONINGS


* Season 2 POUNDS of fish with Old Bay and cut into 1.5 inch pieces and add to pot. Turn up heat with over off and stir a little. (5 minutes)

Cover and turn off. Soup is done.

Enjoy!

Is fish cheap down in Florida? In Iowa pork is always on sale, never a need to pay over $2/lb for it. Is that how fish is for our costal posters? Are there seasons for fish? Do the tilapia schools visit the FL coasts at a particular time of year or are they all farm raised? Give this inlander a fish education.

Fish is free if you have a boat.

I don’t see myself investing in making soup that doesn’t have dairy involved.

Not that I would turn down a bowl.

Blue tilapia (type of bass basically) are naturally found in the lakes, ponds and sinkholes all up and down Florida but are privately farm raised by many small operators as well. I believe Florida doesn't export out of state to prevent price fluctuations. If you're seeing inland you're most likely getting it from another country.

It's even more free if you have a friend who has a boat.

Top 5 being:

French Onion

Now, I love Clams Casino so I use a bit of bacon in my Chowdah, so you'll have to decide whether you'll want to keep it or not.

Minorcan Chowder beats Manhattan Chowder every day of the week due to the fruity but hot Datil peppers. Essentially just make a Manhattan chowder, toss in some finely chopped Datil peppers and some rough chopped salt pork or bacon and some bell peppers and you’re done. Instant upgrade.

We have some dietary restrictions in the house.

Loaded with salt, but the Progresso Manhattan Style is a damn tasty soup.

I don't eat talapia after reading an article about how most of it sold and consumed in the U.S. is raised in shit-infested shallow water "farms" in southeast asia.

Forgot to add, OP's mom has the tastiest bearded clam I've ever tried. 5 out of 5, will eat again.
