Grouper & Sweet Potato Chowder

4 slices nitrate/nitrite free bacon
1 onion, chopped
2 sweet potatoes or yams, cut into bite sized pieces
4 cups fresh fish stock
1 lb grouper, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 oz raw cream
1/4 tsp coriander


Fry the bacon until crisp in a large saucepan.  Remove, crumble and reserve.  Add the onions and sweet potatoes and cook over medium heat until slightly softened (about 5 to 7 mins).  Add the fish stock, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 mins or until the potato is soft.


Add the fish, oregano, nutmeg and coriander and return to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins or until fish is cooked.  Remove from heat, stir in cream.  Transfer to bowls and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
