Ingredients
- 400g Pollock (or other white fish)
- 1.5 liters water
- 4 potatoes, diced
- 2 onions, chopped
- 0.5 carrot, diced
- 30ml sunflower oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- Fresh dill, for garnish
- Green onions, for garnish
- Salt, to taste
- 8 black peppercorns
Method
- Prepare the fish by thawing if frozen, cleaning it, and cutting it into large pieces. Place the fish in a pot with the whole onion, black peppercorns, and bay leaf.
- Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Season the broth with salt and simmer the fish for about 15 minutes.
- After cooking, remove the fish pieces, onion, and bay leaf from the pot. Strain the broth back into the pot.
- Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the strained fish broth. Bring it back to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel and chop the remaining onion and carrot. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan and sauté the onion and carrot for about 3 minutes over high heat.
- Flake the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces, discarding any bones. Once the potatoes are done, return the fish and sautéed vegetables to the pot.
- Bring the chowder back to a gentle boil and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Finally, stir in the minced garlic and garnish with chopped dill and green onions before serving.
Enjoy your delicious fish chowder hot!
