Smoked-Fish Chowder image

We love Bar Harbor clam juice, which has no salt added and a gentle, briny flavor. It's a good stand-in for when you don't want to bother making fish stock (i.e., most of the time).

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 oz. bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium leek, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 lb. small red potatoes, scrubbed, quartered
4 cups no-salt-added clam juice
1 lb. hot-smoked trout, skin removed, flesh broken into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Trout roe (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-low. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add onion, leek, celery, and bay leaves; cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and softened, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and clam juice to pot; season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes. For a thicker texture, smash several pieces of potato against the sides of the pot. Add trout and buttermilk and simmer about 5 minutes (to give flavors time to blend together). Taste and season with more salt and pepper as desired. Remove from heat and stir in cream.
  • Ladle chowder into bowls, top with trout roe, if desired, and season with coarsely ground pepper.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chowder can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat gently over low before serving.

This chowder was a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less smoked paprika.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this chowder. The smokiness of the fish was subtle and the broth was creamy and flavorful.
