Notes: This family favorite came from the Memphis Commercial Appeal many years ago. The recipe is a Mid-South variation of classic colonial Carolina fish muddle soup or stew recipes, carried over the mountains by early Caucasian settlers. George Washington was partial to a version combining coastal shellfish with the fish.
