had any other fish we haven't caught anything else and it's been hours and it's lunchtime now it's about noon so i'm starving we're hungry so i'm gonna get some uh chowder cooking just warm us up i was gonna make some fish chowder with the fish we caught but we haven't got anything else just uh just that one so yeah we'll still make it and maybe one of these guys will catch while i'm cooking and if we can just add it to the chowder if they do i got onion carrots celery and i also have some canned corn i have heavy cream and as well as i got some coconut milk too and some thyme we're just

these off and just run your fingers backwards though these little guys will come off i'm gonna put the coconut milk next to it heat it up a little all right so we're gonna wait for that to kind of um cook down a little bit get a little tender and then we're gonna add some corn just some canned corn uh no big deal we don't have you know corn and seasoned so this is the best we got and we're gonna add some heavy cream we're gonna add some coconut milk it's like a half and half but instead of half cream half milk it's half cream half coconut milk a little bit more flavor that way so just
