several small blues caught on the cape

[Fish On]

Hope folks don't feel this is too much of a segway, but here goes. I'd be happy to share the recipe. By the way this is Mom's.

Fry 5 pieces of bacon; crisp but not burnt.
Drain on a paper towel.
Pour bacon fat through paper towel-on-a-strainer into a large pan.
Add 1 onion and 3 celery stalks chopped.
Saute til partially cooked.
Add 1 cup water 2 cups milk 5 diced potatoes and 1/2 green pepper.
Add 1 bag frozen corn (I added this because I like corn in my chowder, mom said it was ok with her).
Salt, Pepper, Mrs Dash to taste.
Add crumbled bacon.
Simmer, not boil 15 minutes until potatoes are partially cooked.
Cut fish into 1" chunks (works for any whitefish as well as Bluefish).
Blend 2 (more) cups of milk with 1-1/2 tablespoons of flour.
Add to pan along with fish chunks and simmer until fish is cooked.
It does not take long for fish to cook (maybe 10 minutes).
Don't go too long as fish will get mushy, be sure to simmer not boil.

Enjoy with stories of how the bluefish were caught!
