Great idea using the tog rack def gonna do that next time I get a couple whole fish.

As for the tog fillet chunks - they come out great if you sear them on the pan you cooked the bacon in( high heat) only for a 15 -20 seconds on each side or until cooked - then add them to the soup/chowder only a few minutes before serving. They have a great pan taste & the chunks stay whole. Plus the pan sear gives the tog chunks a nice kinda crispy like texture. I cut my tog chunks up in large pieces( 1"x 1"). This way you get a nice size chunk of tog and it is less chance of the chunks breaking up into smaller pieces if added at the very end. Also white pepper goes great with tog chowder. I add the crumbled bacon & oyster crackers at the end on top a bowl of chowder and its game over
