Looking for recipe for Crappie Chowder

[bigmark429]

I'm looking for recipe for Crappie Chowder. A few years ago I attended a Superbowl party while visiting my inlaws in Peoria,Illinois and one of my brother-in-law's friends had made some Crappie Chowder. I had them write down the recipe for me but that was lost after a few beers. Could y'all please help me out , I've got quite a few Crappie filets and I'd like to cook 'em up some other way than just frying 'em.

FISH CHOWDER
1 pound frozen or fresh fish fillets
2 cups cubed, pared potatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 slices bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons flour
Thaw frozen fish. Cut fish into 2-inch pieces. Cook potatoes in 2 cups water for 5 minutes. Add fish, salt and pepper. Simmer, covered; for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble; reserve drippings. Cook onion in drippings. Add crumbled bacon and onion to fish mixture. Slowly blend milk into flout; add to chowder. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Makes 6 servings.


I've never made with crappie which are a really tender fish. Would make sure they didn't overcook.


Sometimes I'll take crappie or sunfish and use as a substitute for shrimp cocktail. Cover with seasoning salt and boil for no more than a couple of minutes with some lemon slices. Chill and serve with cocktail sauce.
