Alberta's Fish Stew

Alberta's Fish Stew

This is my Mother's recipe and you might as well take your shoes off, this will curl your toes.

As with most Cabinet Chef recipes, this one is simple.

Start with 5 or 6 red or golden potatoes, 1 medium yellow or vidalia onion, 6 slices of bacon, 2 lemons, and your choice of fish. The recipe works well with economy fish like Tilapia.

Marinate fish in juice of 2 lemons for 30 to 60 minutes.
Cook bacon until crispy.
After washing,  cut potatoes into bite sized chunks with skin on. Cut onions as if you are making skinny onion rings. Add 6 cups of water to a pot and boil.
Crumble bacon and add to potatoes and onions.
Cook for 30 to 45 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
Add fish and lemon juice and cook another 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, grab a bowl and some crackers and enjoy!

Adding other veggies that you like does not take away from this recipe.

This is one of several fish soup recipes. A couple are like gumbo and others are like chowder.
I will be glad to post more, and I do requests. Just send a message to this blog and I will get back to you. See you again soon =)
