Directions

SOURCE: THE NATIONAL CULINAR

Method: Place cleaned ears of corn in smoker and smoke for 20 minutes or until dark brown. Remove kernels from ears; set aside. In a heavy 8-quart sauce pot over medium heat, melt butter. Saute all vegetables, except corn, along with thyme for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add flour, stirring until well blended and evenly cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in hot fish stock and simmer for 10 minutes; add fish and heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes more. Finish with Dijon mustard and smoked corn.
