Place in kettle:
1 T bacon drippings

Cook slowly until potatos, are half done. Add 1-2 lb white fish fillets, cut into chunks and cook slowly until fish flakes and potatoes are tender. Turn off heat and add 2 c milk, 2 T butter, salt and pepper to taste.
For best flavor, allow chowder to stand at least 3 hours before reheating to serve. Combination of fish, tiny shrimp, crabmeAt, scallops, etc. can be used.
