Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 1 onion, trout, beer, and lemon in a heavy-bottomed pot to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook until trout easily flakes with a fork, about 15 minutes. Transfer trout to a flat work surface; remove and discard skin. Discard onion, beer, and lemon.
  2. 2 Cook salt pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Reserve drippings. Drain salt pork on paper towels.
  3. 3 Melt butter in the same skillet. Add celery and remaining 1 onion; sauté until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the pot. Stir in chicken stock, potatoes, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. 4 Add trout, salt pork, and heavy cream to the pot; cook until chowder is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish servings with parsley and chives.
