Blackfish Chowder

[Bucktail Bob]

Got this recipe from another board awhile back. Thought I would share it with njfishing members.

Easy to make and tastes great!

A couple of years ago, a neighborhood friend and I were talking about the blackfishing every time we met at the deli. When it came down to how we cook it, he said he would bring me some of his blackfish chowder next time we met. He did, and I took it home & tried it. It was the best I ever tasted! I finally was able to pry the recipe out of him, and was amazed to see the ingredients! I thought it had a whole bunch of secret herbs and spices, but as you see, it's pretty simple.
