Muskybob,

I finally got around to making a batch of your chowder yesterday. It was FANTASTIC!!

My wife said that she would order it in a resteraunt if it was on the menu. My daughter and grandaughter, who don't like fish, each had two bowls! I, of course, had too many bowls!

I was thinging of bringing some over to Hank today, but it's all gone!! Sorry Hank, maybe next time.

I know you can't improve on perfection, but have you ever tried to vary the recipe for say a shrimp or crawdad chowder?

Glad to hear ya liked it Jim.
Yes, I have done it with shrimp, scallops, oysters, & clams. It can be adapted to all kinds of seafood, also combinations & it comes out just as good,
Hmmm, now ya got me thinkin, I haven't made this in a while, maybe this weekend.

Bob, is your book published yet? I tried this last year, bringing it out on the ice in a thermos and everyone loved it! I'm going to try it out in the crock pot this weekend hopefully.

Not yet Shane, I've only got around 30 recipes so far. It's gonna be a while.

Adirondack Salmon Chowder
From "My Adirondack Way of Cooking" by Musky Bob

If this doesn’t make your mouth water in anticipation on those cool Fall or Winter days nothing will. I use salmon mostly, but you can substitute most any type of fish.
· ½ stick butter
· ¼ cup flour
· ½ cup chopped onion
· 6 slices bacon, diced
· ½ cup diced celery
· 1½ teaspoons garlic powder not garlic salt
· 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
· 1 ½ cup diced potatoes
· ½ bag baby carrots, cut bite size
· 1 cup chicken broth
· 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
· 1 teaspoon parsley
· 2 bay leaves
· ½ teaspoon thyme
· ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
· 2 6” salmon fillets, cubed 1”
· 1 qt. milk
· 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
· 1 teaspoon cornstarch
· 1 12 oz. pkg. Cream cheese
1. Sauté bacon, then add butter, onion, broth, celery, carrots, and garlic powder & cook until all is tender. Stir in potatoes, old bay seasoning, parsley, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and dill.
2. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Cover, and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
3. Stir in salmon, milk, creamed corn, flour, cornstarch, and cream cheese. Cook on medium, stirring frequently until heated through and cream cheese is melted.
4. Serve steaming hot with oyster crackers.
Please let me know how you like it. It’s one of my favorites.

The whole tribe chowed-down heartily.

Scott, It does my heart good to know you liked it.

Dave Mull of GLA magazine is supposed to be putting this in an upcoming issue. I'll probably be on Oprah shortly afterward.

Now that ya got the recipe, try substituting the salmon for clams, oysters, and/or various other seafood.

I use salmon because it's the most readily available thing I've got in the house. (free)

Thanks for letting me know your tribe liked it. It makes a nice dish to pass at gatherings also. Good luck on the water this upcoming season. Ya got the tools, now go get the salmon.

Bob,
I'll use the salmon in it, as we have a PILE of it, in the freezers downstairs.
Between the walleyes, venison,(did well on the deer this season, again, over here) and salmon, and we have 1/2 side of beef cut up every year, we seldom buy any meat from the local grocery stores.

Bob,
All right Bob, I get home from the lake this afternoon and I've got two nice LL to cut up. Wife says I should make dinner so I make a list from your post run to the store ,a little over an hour later I hear from the little missy'" WOW you should do all the cooking." When you get your cook book together please let us know I'd really lke to purchase a copy for my wife. Hands down the best chowder I've ever had, any thing else is a very distant second. Thank you for sharing. Mark
