Make sure that Al, AKA Trannyman gets his recipe posted or PM him. It's phenomenal!!!!!

I did a search and found it.

Walleye Chowder

Ingredients

3 - 2 to 4 lb. walleye
3 medium onions diced
3 or 4 medium potatoes, peeled & diced
4 medium to large carrots diced.
1 lb bacon
1 bay leaf (optional - I don't use it)
4 teaspoons of salt (I use 1 teaspoon or less)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 green pepper diced (I don't use the green pepper)
1 28 ounce can of whole tomatoes.

Cut the walleye fillets into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces.

fry up the bacon, place on a paper towel and put in the freezer to harden up
I use a little of the bacon fat to fry the diced onions & set aside.

I dice the carrots into about 1/4 pieces and the potatoes about 1/2 inch or larger.
Add the carrots & potatoes to boiling water, just enough to cover them,
bring the pot to a low boil for about 20 minutes or until almost done.

Remove the bacon from the freezer & smash into small pieces with a cleaver, add to pot.
I add the juice off the can of tomatoes, then cut the whole tomatoes into small pieces and then
add to the pot. Add bay leaf if you wish to. Add the cooked onions, salt & pepper.
Simmer for about 5 minutes.

At this point I taste the chowder to see if it requires more salt or not. Probably not.
Add the walleye and cook on a simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Makes about 4 servings.
I doubled the batch for the Battle on the Bay and it fed about 25 people and I had a gallon left over.
Don't be afraid to add more walleye than the recipe calls for, I think I had about 8 - 3 lb. walleye in that batch.

Bon Apetite
Al

There's something wrong with that rod.
It has a bend in it!!!

Here's mine I use with splake or any trout.
1 liter of 18% cream
1/2 lb of butter
4 oz of rye
1/4 lb of fried bacon
2 tbl spoons of chicken stock powder
1 diced onion
4 pre cut large potatoes
2 whole garlic cloves chopped
What ever trout you have kicking around, pre bake then crumble into pot.

Add all ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil the simmer for about 2 hrs and enjoy.

ALLAN, Anyone Can Use Bacon to make anything Taste Good....


2 ounces salt pork or guanciale, diced

2 cups Spanish onion minced fairly fine

4 TBS flour

4 cups fish stock

2 ounce Balsamic Vinegar

1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into chunks between 1/4 and 1/2-inch depending on your preference.

A few, 3 pound Pickerel Filleted Cut into Various Cubed sizes under 1 inch.

2 cups half and half OR 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk

Salt, to taste

In a large, heavy pot slowly render the guanciale or salt pork.

Remove the Pieces and set them aside.

Slowly cook the diced onions in the fat for about 6 - 10 minutes, stirring frequently, you don't want colour here, more like a sweat, in fact for part of the time I cook them on very low heat with a lid on.

Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.

Add the fish stock and Balsamic vinegar, stir or whisk to remove any lumps
(Create Fish Stock By boiling your Pickerel bones After Filleted)

Add the diced potatoes and then bring the liquid to a boil, turn it down a bit and then simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Lower the heat substantially and stir in the reserved Chunks of Pickerel Fillets and cream/milk mixture or half and half.

Allow this to come up to temperature very slowly being careful to not bring it to a boil. Now taste and add some salt. I think I ended up with 1 - 2 tsp in the end. Don't panic people, again, look how much liquid we have here! Add some, taste, let it simmer gently. Taste, season again. Heck, add some cracked black pepper if that's how you roll. Just no tomatoes. Yes that means No Ketchup.PLEASE.
