FISH CHOWDER (BERMUDA)
I used this recipe for week 30 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Bermuda is my 30th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my blog that I'm not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. I did not personally like this recipe--way too many carrots and celery for my tastes. If you like that sort of thing though, you will probably have a better opinion than I did.
