This recipe was a disaster! The chowder turned out watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chowder was good, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll add more milk next time.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This chowder was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen shrimp and clams and it still tasted amazing.
