Can't say specks are my favorite, but did a speck chowder last night that was REALLY GOOD! Sauteed veggies (onion, pepper, garlic, jalapino), spice to taste, add cubed fillets a few minutes before veggies are done. Add a can of cream of celery (chix or mushroom work too) soup, can of milk, and a healthy splash of white wine. Let simmer until everything is done. Serve in a bowl, topped with parm and chopped scallion and enjoy! We top w/crumbled saltines as well. Nice on a chilly night! I finished it off for lunch! Easy one pot tasty meal!
