Dried Fish Chowder (7)
Salt fish, 1/2 pound
Potatoes, cut in small pieces,
4 cups
Salt pork, 2 ounces
Small onion, chopped, 1
Skim milk, 4 cups
Crackers, 4 ounces
Salt codfish, smoked halibut, or other dried fish may be used in this chowder. Pick over and shred the fish, holding it under lukewarm water. Let it soak while the other ingredients of the dish are being prepared. Cut the pork into small pieces and fry it with the onion until both are a delicate brown; add the potatoes, cover with water, and cook until the potatoes are soft. Add the milk and fish and reheat. Salt, if necessary. It is well to allow the crackers to soak in the milk while the potatoes are being cooked, then remove them, and finally add to the chowder just before serving.
