smoked fish chowder

Sometimes I just need a bowl of hearty soup to chase away the winter chill.  I saw this recipe in Saveur: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Smoked-Whiting-and-Scallop-Chowder

but I couldn't find Smoked Whiting so I used smoked trout fillets instead (they have them at Trader Joes and Whole Foods).  I simmered the fish in the milk, cooled, strained and flaked the night before so it was relatively quick to finish cooking the chowder for dinner one evening.  Leftovers were great for lunch the next day.
