The picture above is taking out just the fish and vegetables.

I started this fish chowder recipe with a can of creamed corn and poured that in the bottom of a glass baking dish.  


I then add three pieces of tilapia filets resting on top of the corn or you can use any type of white fish.  I love tilapia because it is light and doesn't have bones.


I seasoned the Fish Chowder with paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. A couple of sprinkles will work.   You can add any extra ones you like or omit the ones I named if you don’t like them.


The next layer of this Fish Chowder recipe consist of layering mushrooms, sliced onions, and peppers on top of the fish.  I topped it with cilantro and put it in the oven for about 30 minutes.  When it came out I put cheese over the top and when it was melted the Fish Chowder was done.




I took the Fish Chowder for lunch the next day and it was wonderful.  It would be a way to get you kids to eat fish without tasting the fish.



Enjoy




Chowder History






Chowder has its roots in the Latin word calderia, which originally meant a place for warming things, and later came to mean cooking pot. A simple dish of chowder, in the past considered to be "poor man's food," has a history that is centuries old. Vegetables or fish stewed in a cauldron thus became known as chowder in English-speaking nations, a corruption of the name of the pot or kettle in which they were cooked. Different kinds of fish stews exist in almost every sea-bound country in the world.
