Wisconsin Fish Boil Recipe

First, stop at Carl and Don's in Naubinway to get Whitefish that was caught that very morning.Whitefish is what they use in Wisconsin but almost any fish will work. We primarly use salmon but have also used Rainbow Trout.

Whitefish or other fish (2” - 4" pieces)
Small red potatoes (ends cut off)
Onions (peeled)
1 cup salt
6 quarts of water
Spice bouquet garni

In a large pot, put 6 quarts of water and spice garni
Add 1 cup of salt to water and bring to a boil.
Add potatoes and boil for 15 minutes.
Add onions and boil for 15 minutes more.
Arrange fish in a strainer basket and drop in pot.
Boil for 10-15 minutes until fish is done. Don't overcook.
Drain potatos and onion into a colander.

Serve with melted butter.

Notes: The bouguet garni is collection of herbs (traditionally fresh parsley, fresh/dried thyme and bay leaf) that are bundled together or placed in a cheesecloth bag. I usually cheat and use the Zatarain's Crab Boil.
You can't make too many potatoes - they will be great for breakfast or lunch tomorrow.
