My mom's recipe for a simple fish chowder. Wonderful and quick on a cold night! Very versatile. Not a thick tastes-like-flour-paste chowder. Just yummmm! Mom served it with Bisquick® brown sugar rolls, but a salad with any bread, roll, or crackers would be equally perfect!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Melt butter in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Saute onions in hot butter until soft, about 5 minutes.

Pour 1 cup water in the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Lay fillets into the water and poach until fish flesh can be gently broken with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove fish and onions from the skillet with a slotted spoon to a bowl.

Pour remaining 1/4 cup water into the skillet with the potato cubes; season with salt.

Place a cover on the skillet and bring the liquid to a boil; cook until the potatoes are beginning to soften, but remain firm, 5 to 7 minutes.

Return fish and onion to the skillet; add whole milk and evaporated milk.

Season everything with salt and pepper; heat until just before the liquid comes to a boil and remove immediately from heat.
