My husband is an avid fisherman. When a family get-together was planned and we had to bring something, we created this recipe using fish from our freezer. The chowder got rave reviews from the relatives! -Heather Saunders, Belchertown, Massachusetts

This chowder was a bit bland. I added some additional seasoning and it was much better. I will definitely be making this again, but I will add more seasoning next time.

This chowder was a bit too spicy for my taste. But I still enjoyed the flavor and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again, but I will reduce the amount of spice.
