2. Cover and simmer 30 min.
3. Remove cover. Add chunked fish. Simmer 10 min. longer or until fish is cooked through (it should flake easily) but not overcooked.

To serve, spoon hot rice into large, shallow soup dishes. Ladle fish mixture over top. Top each serving with a little piece of butter.

Comments
If lean fresh fish is available, use it in place of the frozen. If you can get clams in the shell, use 12 to 16 clams in place of the canned clams.
