MOPanfisher Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Flysmallie, biscuits and cobblers are the best out of a Dutch oven, never sure if they tasted different, or it was the fun of making them outside, or maybe I was always hungrier. Daryk Campbell Sr and Flysmallie 2
MOPanfisher Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Going to attempt a fish chowder tomorrow night. Am expirament in today with a possible garnish. I have a bowl of fresh white bass fillets in the fridge so I sacrificed one to a small sauce pan with water, zatarins crab boil and some old bay seasoning. the plan was to boil them quickly and use chunks of the boiled fish to garnish to top of the bowls, or heck in the bottom if you want I guess. learned so far, chunks of fish fillet cook fast in boiling water, didnt hold together as well as I had hoped (might get better as it cools), it is easy to get too much spice on them and make your lips burn, but still needed a dash of salt/pepper/garlic powder mix I like. Pretty tasty actually. boiled white bass, who would have thunk it.

MOPanfisher Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I used the wrong term really, it wouldn't be a garnish I guess. but either some chunks of the spics fish on top or maybe on the bottom of the bowl. the main ingredients have been selected, my wife brought home shrimp, scallops and some crab meat. hoping for a rich creamy chowder to offset the spicy fish. we shall see. I also have a leek left over from something else.

I also have a leek left over from something else. I make my chowders using fish stock, stock made from shells of lobsters or other crustaceans, or clam juice. I definitely use leeks and onion, and I do not add the meat until the last minute to avoid tough shrimp or over flaked fish. ness 1
MOPanfisher Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Well the expirament is over. garlic/butter/cheddar biscuits, a big skillet of Brussel sprouts quartered and seasoned with balsamic, and finally the chowder. the short version is that it doesn't bode well for me doing catch and release for white bass in the future. the chowder stated out tasting basically like a very very good potato soup, then as I trimmed up the white bass fillets, saving the "tenderloins" out and tossing the rest into the stew pot where it cooked and fell apart and became part of the mix. added the scallops and shrimp last. poached the tenderloins in a liquid of water, liquid crab boil, some old bay seasoning and a dash of fish sauce (heck why not). the chowder is a little dark as I let the roux go just a dash long, and used a lot of old bay seasoning. I did add a can of smashed up oysters but not a whole lot else. The biscuits and sprouts were from my wife, and even my son and his gilfriend and her sister ate it up. Finally had to go outside to cool off as I was sweating. Short version is Mmmmmmm Mmmm good. Terrierman, podum, Daryk Campbell Sr and 3 others 6
