Talakitok belly and corn chowder
February 15, 2005

I grilled a huge fish belly for dinner yesterday but hubby came home with a mango cream pie from Red Ribbon before dinner was ready. We ended up eating the pie before dinner. Naturally, we had leftovers. Instead of cooking a new dish from scratch for today’s lunch and the kids’ packed school lunch, I decided to “recycle” the leftover grilled fish belly. Thing with grilled fish is it doesn’t reheat well. It loses its natural juices. I didn’t want to short-change the kids by sending them re-heated dry fish for lunch so I thought something with a thickish sauce would be good. I had half a bag of frozen corn kernels in the freezer, some white onions and plenty of butter. A chowder seemed like a good idea.
So, what is a chowder? Dictionary.Com defines a chowder as “a thick soup containing fish or shellfish, especially clams, and vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, in a milk or tomato base.”
