    I have it 0n good authority this is excellent.

    http://www.soupbase.com/Minors-Fish-…oductinfo/412/

    4 Tbps Butter
    1/2 Cup each Onions and Celery diced-medium
    1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
    2 Cups Hot Water
    2 Tbsps Minor’s Fish Base
    1 Cup Potatoes diced-medium
    1 Cup Milk
    Dash of white pepper (black if you don’t have white)
    And, as much chunked up walleye that you want. It calls for 1 Cup, but I usually load it up pretty good.
    **I also take the time to remove any dark flesh off the fillets before chunking, so no one bites into any “fishy” tasting bites.

    In a 3QT saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
    Add onions and celery, saute/stir until tender apx. 10 minutes.
    Whisk in flour until well blended and evenly cooked. 2-3 min.
    Remove from heat.
    Stir in water, base, potatoes, milk and pepper. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. (I dissolve the base in the hot water before adding at this point)
    Boil/Stir 1 min.
    Reduce heat; simmer 7-10 min., stirring often, until potatoes are tender.
    Add walleye, mixing well. Simmer 5 min. longer; stirring often.
    Serve hot….enjoy!

    Best walleye chowder I have ever had is at Gunflint Lodge in northern mn. I have tried to duplicate it. Looks like a good recipe though.

    I used a similar recipe that I loved.

    Only difference was I added a couple of Tbs of chipotle powder, and made my own fish stock by boiling the fish heads and bones w/ a good amount of vegetables.

    That sounds great. Where do you buy your walleyes from?
