Coconut Fish Chowder image

Coconut milk is made from shredded coconut that is simmered in water and then strained to make a creamy liquid. It should not be confused with coconut cream, which has less water, or with sweetened cream of coconut. Reduced-fat coconut milk contains thickeners and other additives; it's best to use small amounts of regular coconut milk instead.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon fillets that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the chowder and it turned out great.
