I used to go out, fairly often, with fishing guide Grant Schliewe. Grant fished several of the great smallmouth bass streams found in western Michigan. His claim to fame: he eschewed modern bass boats, and modeled his service on the old-time Ozark Mountains float trips; using John boats, paddle power, etc. And in line with that he prepared a classic shore lunch.
 
Grant used the large (up to five pound) suckers that would come upstream out of Lake Michigan for this great soup. He'd filet the suckers, partially cook them, and strip the meat off the many bones. But any firm-fleshed fish works just as well.
 
Schliewe Chowder
 
Heat 1 1/2 quarts water with one coarsely chopped onion. Add two pounds of fish filets. Simmer until fish is about half cooked. Remove fish and reserve.
 
Add about one cup each of finely diced carrots, potatoes, celery, and turnips. Cook until tender.
 
Flake the fish, return it to the pot, and cook until done. Thicken slightly with a white sauce made with butter, flour, and milk. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley to taste.
 
Another simple to prepare, stick to the ribs dish when camping, fishing, or otherwise playing in the woods.

Good Morning Brook,
 
I truly like the simplicity of your historic adaptation recipes. This sounds like a lovely fish and shellfish chowder ... Thanks so much for posting.
 
Kindest regards.
Margi.

I just found this post - another recipe that I am going to have to try!

Considering the fish that are available immediately in my area, I can see this being really good with northern pike or perch - and especially good with walleye; I am guessing that trout would be very good, too.

Just finding it, Ron? Who says you're slow?

Of the ones you mention, I think Northerns would make the best substitute. Red Horse Sucker meat tastes similar. And the technique is one in which you won't have to worry about the Y bones.
But we hae meat and we can eat
And sae the Lord be thanket

Sounds like a plan - Northerns are a favourite fish to catch up here!

Ron and Brook, 

Sounds like a true authentic classic  ..  Perfect .. 

I believe that with my availabilities of fish and shellfish,  I would go with sea bass or cod fish or perhaps grouper ( all Mediterranean species )  ..  

Grouper is thick and large so it would give the soup a chowdery thickness and cod is plentiful for the Lent Season ..  

Let me know your views ..  

How about some clams and mussels thrown in too  ?  

What do you suggest in quanity ( kilos please )  on each  ?  

Thanks Gentlemen ..

Hi, Margi -

I have not prepared this yet, so it is just a guess; however, if you want to add some clams or mussels to it, I am thinking that half a kilo total (of any combination) might be good, in addition to the fish that is already there. I am just guessing; perhaps Brook might have some ideas on this.

As for the fish, it looks like the total amount would be 1 kilo, in any combination.

Hope this helps -

Ron
