How about something different. Still dead in hereJust finished making this. I normally do a batch each winter.
Mike's low country fish stew recipe.
2 pounds bacon
3 large white onions
3 large bell peppers
3/4 pound okra
5 pounds russet potatoes
5 pounds rock fish or catfish
29 oz can tomato sauce
2 each 28 oz cans diced tomatoes
12 oz tomato paste
6 oz Texas Pete
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
Preparation:
Dice onions 1/4"
Dice peppers 1/4"
Cut bacon into 1/4" strips
Cut fish into 1/2" cubes
Slice okra to 1/4" (yield 2 1/2 cups)
Peel potatoes. Cut into 1/4" cubes.
You need a large pot capable of holding 3 gallons. (I use my wife's canning pot and have extra room.)
In separate pot, boil potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Just bring to a boil and remove/drain. Your only trying to remove some starch, not fully cook them. Set aside.
In separate pan, saute bacon until it's limp. Transfer everything from that pan into the large pot.
*Add the onions and cook till they just start to brown.
*Add the peppers and cook a few minutes till they start to soften.
*Add all the canned items, salt, pepper, Texas Pete, and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes while stirring.
*Add potatoes, okra, and fish.
*Cook/stir on low for 45 minutes or until fish breaks down thoughly.
Season to taste.
This is a hearty stew & freezes well. Give yourself 3 hours+ to make this.
