Gourmet May 1988 3 cups white
fish stock 4 minutes, or until it is just tender. Drain the corn in a fine sieve set over a bowl and reserve it and the stock separately. In a heavy saucepan melt the butter over moderately low heat, add the flour and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the reserved stock in a stream, whisking, and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper and simmer it, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk and the cream, bring the chowder to a simmer, and keep it warm, covered, off the heat. Halve lengthwise and pit the avocados and reserve 1 lengthwise quarter taken from 1 of the avocado halves, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for garnish. Scoop the remaining avocado flesh into a food processor and purée it with the thyme and scallion. With the motor running add the remaining 2 cups reserved stock gradually and blend the mixture well. Whisk the avocado mixture into the chowder, add the lobster, reserving 1/4 cup for garnish, the reserved corn, cayenne, lemon juice, and salt and black pepper to taste, and heat the chowder over low heat, stirring, until it is heated through, but do not let it boil. Ladle the chowder into heated bowls, spoon a small dollop of the sour cream into the center of each serving, and top the chowder with the reserved lobster and the reserved avocado, diced fine. Serves 6.
