I recently saw this recipe in a magazine, but forgot to cut it out, it looked and sounded yummy, but all I can remember is that it had a tin of smoked fillets in it, plus other ingredients, any help would be appreciated. I have tried googling it but can't come up with the one I saw. Thanks

I cheat and buy a packet of maggi fish pie mix. add an extra 1/2 to one cup milk, make as per instructions, and then add the fish or whatever. crushed garlic, (1 clove) is nice, and sometimes just add some cream at the last minute. drain the fillets if using tinned fish.

I dont know the recipe but I would chop an onion and sweat itr off in some butter. To that add fish stock your smoked fish and some marinara mix.
In another pot make roux with 125g of butter and 3/4 cup of flour. Cook out the flour for 2 or 3 minutes (blond roux).
Mix the fish stock mixture to the roux mixture and it will thicken then add cream, salt and white pepper and parsley to taste

awwww heck. .
no smoked fish in the house either canned or fresh. .
but not a problem that cant be solved when we venture out next. . lol
The best seafood chowder I have ever had was at the very last restaurant at The Bluff , the one next to the sign post. Could have been The Drunken Sailor ? ?

LoL at Drunken Sailor, serving seafood chowder... Just need a side of REAL smoked fish grannypam... I really love trevally as it has a "softer more subtle" flavour than kahawai or mullet. . I smoke my own and rarely catch trevally, mostly kahawai I use for the smoker. . Been getting some nice Kingfish lately, jigging, and they are about 15-20kgs. . Only keep ONE each time we go out and they are superb smoked. . been blessed with friends giving us smoked striped and broadbill marlin of late. . some smoked and some fresh slabbed to grill directly on the BBQ as steaks. . Also Bluenose. . a fish from the deep and which taste superb with chunks deep fried after being lightly battered. . I gladly swap fresh veges from my garden with these denizens of the deep. . :}}

Ive been getting the odd trevally off the wharf here. They are fighters and I have lost about the same amount as I have landed. They like to wrap themselves around the pylons. Plus they have soft mouths.
I dont eat fish so have never tried them but my dog loves them :) (he is allergic to beef, chicken and lamb so has to eat fish and its cheaper to catch it then buy it)

Have you considered making your trevally into fish souffle as a treat for your piscatorian dog ferita. I have it on good authority that another vego used to make his dog cheese souffle's.

Dogs do very well on fish Buzzy :) I had an old dog which had a terrible coat until someone advised me to feed her fish I gave her a pilchard every day and her coat became really glossy and black and beautiful.
Yes to Trev's great fish fresh or smoked.

Never heard of that before buzzy... does he mean they just wont eat it at all when served up. . or "allergic". .

Its not the actual meat he is allergic to its something in the fat of those animals. Beef allergy is one of the most common allergies in dogs. The problem is that 99. 9% of commercial dog food has beef in it and the special dog food (which is made from fish and potatoes) is very expensive. I feel its better for him to have fresh fish plus its cheaper. I go fishing a few times a week for him.
If he eats beef etc he gets really bad yeast infection in his ears and coat. His hair literally falls off and he smells really bad. He has big ears (he is a basset hound) and they can get ear problems easy. In fact it is one of the most common ways basset hounds die.
Several studies have shown that some ingredients are more likely to cause food allergies than others. In order of the most common offenders in dogs are beef, dairy products, chicken, lamb, fish, chicken eggs, corn, wheat, and soy. As you may have noticed, the most common offenders are the most common ingredients in dog foods. This correlation is not a coincidence. While some proteins might be slightly more antigenic than others, many proteins are similar in form and the incidence of allergic reactions are probably associated with the amount of exposure.

Its a good excuse to go fishing ha ha :) The fishing is fairly good here so I can get 4 or 5 big kahawai in an hour off the beach and one big one will last him a day. When its too rough off the beach then I have to go off the wharf and it is very hit and miss there. My dog has been known to eat piper and sprats when I cant catch anything else LOL

Here you go, I posted this 3-4 years ago and its usually come back on the thread every year about the same time. 1 onion, 4 small potatoes, 2 tbsp butter, 1 1/2 cups water, 310gr can smoked fish fillets, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, garlic, 2 sticks celery, 2 tbsp flour, 1 cup milk, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 cup grated cheese (optional) Chop garlic, onion, potatoes and celery. Melt butter, fry garlic and onion, add flour and cook 1 minute, add water and milk, bring to the boil. Simmer 2 minutes. Add potatoes and celery. Cook 5-8 minutes till potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Flake fish and add (with liquid from can). Add pepper and parsley. Serve with the grated cheese if wanted.
I use chicken stock instead of water for a fuller flavour. I double and triple this recipe and freeze it, as its a lovely meal in mid winter with a crusty loaf of bread. Remember to heat the bowels if you reheat this chowder as it loses its heat quick because of the potato content. I also use smoked garlic herb instead of garlic.
Its a lovely recipe. And Fisher, would love some of your smoked fish, Mum used to smoke her own too.
