CONNECTICUT FISH CHOWDER
Any cheap fish that is fresh will do for this dish, or it may be made
from the heads, fins and backbones of the fish, used for filets or
broiling. Place the heads, fins and backbones of three medium-sized
fish in a deep saucepan and add
Two quarts of cold water,
Two onions, cut fine,
One carrot, cut in tiny dice,
One-half bay leaf,
One-half teaspoon of thyme.
Cover and bring to a boil. Cook slowly for one hour. Now remove
the heads, fins and backbones and pick the meat from the heads and
backbones and return to the stock.
Now rub one cup of stewed tomatoes through a sieve and add five
tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir until the starch is dissolved and then
add to the stock. Bring quickly to a boil and add:
Two cups of diced and par-boiled potatoes,
Salt and pepper to taste,
Two tablespoons of butter,
Two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley.
Let boil up once and then serve. This is delicious. One pound of fish
may be used in place of heads, fins and backbones.
