Recipe for "fish-chowder"

NAME

     FISH-CHOWDER - Betty Post's quick fish chowder
     When I left for my first job out of school,  my  mother  was
     convinced  that  I'd  starve to death.  She gave me a set of
     easy recipes on index cards in hopes that  I'd  occasionally
     eat  at  home  instead  of  Denny's.   This  is one of those
     recipes.  It's quick and easy, and tastes great.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

     250 g     haddock
     200 ml    water
     50 g      bacon
     1         medium potato
     11/4         onion, chopped
     500 g     creamed corn
     250 ml    milk

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Peel potato, cut into chunks, put in saucepan with
               the water, and cook, covered, over medium heat for
               10 minutes.
          (2)  Cut fish in chunks, mix in with the potatoes,  and
               continue to cook for 10 more minutes (covered).
          (3)  While these are cooking, fry the bacon until it is
               crisp.  Drain on paper towels.
          (4)  Fry the onion in the bacon grease.
          (5)  Add the creamed corn to the fish and potatoes.
          (6)  Add the milk to the onions.  Crumble  the  drained
               crisp bacon and add to the milk mixture.
          (7)  Bring the milk mixture to serving temperature, add
               the fish mixture, and serve.
