First, buy some crappy fishing gear at the local fishing hut then head out to the nearest highway run off. Next, attempt to fish while getting attacked by invisible bugs until you're about to give up.
Of course the last cast you land a fish..... PK and I named him Spot b/c he was a spotted trout... and at the same time we thought... "WE gotta eat Spot... in a Chowda, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".
See Spot caught.
Spot made the cut at 15 inches long. Poor Spot.

See Spot de-scaled.
See Spot Fillet.
See 2 Spots.
Ingredients:
2/3 stick of butter
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1 lb of shrimp w/ the heads on.(y'all)
Fresh catch of the Day (aka Spotted Trout if you caught it off the dock by my house!)
1/2 cup minced Onions
3 cups diced red potatoes
6 cups of corn kernels
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch of Old Bay seasoning
3 cup milk (we used skim, but PK recommends whole milk)
1/2 quart heavy cream
2 tsp pepper and salt to taste
Shrimp Stock: (use shrimp heads and shells only)
Rip heads and shells off shrimp, separate into a sauce pan. Cook heads and shells covered with water, add cayenne pepper and old bay seasoning then cook over medium heat until it reduces by half. Then stain the heads and shells from the stock and set aside.
In a large sauce pan (I am talking big for soups sauce pan), saute butter, onions and garlic until the onions are transparent. Then add shrimp stock, potatoes and corn until the potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
Add shrimp and Spot to the chowda for approximately 10 more minutes (see Spot cook).
Finally, add enough milk and cream to cover the vegetables and reduce until desired thickness.
Add pepper and salt to taste. Serve hot!
PK and I gave this a 9 out of 10. I ate an entire bowl before PK had 1/2 of his!
