    Title: President Kennedy's Fish Chowder
    2 lb Haddock

    That looks good; I might try it with some other kind of fish
    (salmon?) some time.

    Stick to lean, mild, white fleshed fish. If Haddock is unavailable
    or too expensive consider other members of the cod family like
    Pollock or the Pacific Grey Cod.

    Speaking of fishy things I bought some Basa for the first time in
    years as it was on sale extremely cheap. Farmed Basa or Swai (an Asian
    catfish) isn't just mild tasting, it's bland. So I dredged the
    fillets in highly seasoned flour: generous mustard powder, black
    pepper, garlic powder, Frank's Redhot Original Seasoning Blend and
    poultry seasoning. I baked them at 375 F in a well oiled baking pan
    for 15 minutes, basting them once with the pan juices to crisp up
    the flour coating and served them with lots of lemon wedges. That
    way they did have some flavour!

    In case you haven't come across Frank's Redhot Original Seasoning
    Blend yet it's a newer product, a powdered spice mix and not a liquid
    sauce. The ingredients are (this is right off the label) cayenne
    pepper sauce powder (corn maltodextrin, cayenne red pepper,
    distilled vinegar, salt, natural flavor, garlic), corn maltodextrin,
    salt, spices (including paprika), garlic, sugar, tricalcium
    phosphate (to make free flowing), silicon dioxide (to make free
    flowing), and extractives of paprika. It's quite mild as chile
    pepper blends go; Roslind likes it a lot.

    I don't know if you avoid maltodextrin or not. It is derived from
    pure starch and has no residual corn proteins in it, so I imagine
    it's safe.

    Cheers

    Jim

    I'd probably go with flounder; it's a common one here in NC. Mullet is
    also, but it's more like salmon than a white fish.

    Steve doesn't like catfish so we don't buy it or order it if it's on a

    Sounds almost like too much flavoring; I would have used about half
    those you listed.

    It's a possible useable one. Steve doesn't seem to have a problem with
    corn starch. He might object to some of the other ingredients (natural flavoring--whatever that might be--and tricalcium phosphate), meaning it
    would stay in the store. I'd probably make a sort of knock off of it.

    IMO, flounder is about as far away from Haddock as can be. Haddock is a
    firm, meaty white fish. Flounder is too soft and delicate to be used in
    a chowder.

    But it's great with a crab stuffing. One of my favourite restaurant
    orders. Or if I'm feeling frisky in the kitchen. Bv)=

    Here in NC flounder is the fish of choice. It's added at the end, just
    long enough to cook (doesn't take long) and works quite well.
