In a large pot (dutch oven/stock pot) saute onions in 1/2 cup butter.

Add fish and lemon juice, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add milk, evaporated milk, salt, pepper, one envelope of instant mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons butter and garlic, stirring often; heat until butter melts. Serve hot and enjoy.
*variation.....for soup, omit instant potatoes. Instant potatoes give the soup a chowder-like texture.
