Fish Head Chowder
Maggie is talking about a
large amount of chowder so
adjust recipe accordingly
.When the King Salmon are
running the first salmon is
The head is immediately turned into chowder. The following is traditional and the way we still prefer to cook our chowder. If you prefer a fish soup eliminate the head and use chunks of King Salmon or Fresh Humpy(Pink) and cook for less time than you would heads. Other fish is not fat enough for chowder. People get fancy today and add White wine and other ingredients. My husbands mother used rutabagas, macaroni And canned tomatoes as well as the listed items. Use your imagination.
