Re: Fish Chowder

I do a very basic one and I'll be coming back to this thread to see if anyone has something better.

I usually chop a whole onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, 3 or so ribs of celery and 3 or so carrots, 3 or four smallish potatoes peeled and diced and sautee in a bit of oil.

then I add bay leave, thyme, and old bay seasonong to the mixture. then I add a small about of thickener (2tbsp flour or 1 tbsp cornstarch) and sautee for 2 more minutes, and then 32 oz of fish or seafood stock and let that cook for about twenty minutes or when it comes up to a bubble and the veggies soften.

then I add 1 lb to 1.25 lbs white fish (haddock or cod, usually) with about 2 cups of whole milk and cook until fish is cooked through and flaked.

then I adjust seasonings...adding salt, freshly ground pepper as needed, and more old bay.

it's simple and straight forward...good for a work night. but it's just ok. I'd like something better.

I make Gordon Ramsay's cod chowder.

I found this recipe online so I don't have to type it out .

I just do all cod and don't do the shrimp. I also leave out the potatoes and add extra zucchini.
