DOWN EAST HADDOCK CHOWDER



Down East Haddock Chowder image

Chowders are simple soups - usually just fish, potato, onion and milk. They are quick to make and among the best soups in Canada. This haddock chowder is a recreation of the popular chowder served at the Evangeline Snack Bar in Grand Pri, N.S. When asked the secret of the chowder's success, the waitress modestly answered, "We get good fish here." You might like to add a few cooked shrimp, a spoonful of fresh parsley or some crumbled bacon to the soup. If haddock is unavailable, substitute other firm white fish.

Categories     Chowders

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb haddock fillets or 1 lb white fish fillet (firm)
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups potatoes, Cubed, peeled
1 cup onion, Finely chopped
1 cup celery, Chopped
1 pinch pepper, Freshly ground
1 cup light cream or 1 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place fish, water and salt in large saucepan.
  • Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Fish is done when flesh is opaque. Remove immediately and when cool enough to handle, break into bite-size pieces.
  • Reserve until rest of soup is ready.
  • Skim any foam off fish stock.
  • Add potatoes, onion, celery and pepper; cover and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until tender.
  • Return fish to pan.
  • Pour in milk and heat through without boiling.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Swirl in butter.
  • Transfer to heated tureen or soup bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better the chowder will taste. If you can, buy your seafood from a local fish market or seafood counter.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is a key ingredient in clam chowder, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for clam juice that is made with real clams, not clam flavoring.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Clam chowder is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the chowder tastes just the way you like it.
  • Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings. Clam chowder is often served with crackers, oyster crackers, or bread. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Clam chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With these tips, you can make a delicious pot of clam chowder that your family and friends will love.
