Maryland Seafood Chowder image

It had just begun to get chilly out after a long hot summer. A chowder was just the thing! Since we do love our seafood here by the Bay, I took a little bit of everything and put it together for this hearty chowder!

The chowder was a little bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper to taste.

I wasn't a big fan of the Old Bay seasoning in this recipe. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

I found the chowder to be a little too thick for my taste. I added a little bit of milk to thin it out.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chowder still turned out great.

I made this chowder with a few substitutions (I used frozen shrimp and crab instead of fresh) and it still turned out great.

This chowder is a seafood lover's dream! The combination of shrimp, crab, and fish is just perfect, and the creamy broth is so flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.
