Spring Pea Fish Chowder image

Sweet peas, pea shoots, and a sprinkle of lemon zest give this light, just-creamy-enough chowder an extra dose of freshness. While cod might be a more traditional chowder choice, we love halibut for its meatier texture and sweeter flavor.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 leeks, white and pale green parts only, tough outer layer removed
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. baby creamer (Yukon Gold) potatoes, halved (quartered if larger than 1 1/2" in diameter)
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 cup pure clam juice
2 bay leaves
1 lb. skinless halibut or cod fillet, cut into 2x1" pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 (10-oz.) bag frozen sweet peas, thawed
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Pea shoots (tendrils) or sprouts, basil leaves, finely grated lemon zest, and flaky sea salt (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut leeks into 1/4" rounds. Rinse, tossing with hands so that leeks separate into individual rings, and drain thoroughly. Transfer to a medium pot. Add oil and toss to coat. Cover pot and cook over medium heat until leeks begin to soften, 5-6 minutes. Add potatoes, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine. Add clam juice, bay leaves, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Season halibut with remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt. Add to pot along with cream and peas and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until halibut is opaque, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
  • Divide chowder among bowls. Top with pea shoots, basil, and lemon zest. Season with sea salt and a generous amount of pepper.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chowder was too thick for my liking. I had to add more milk to thin it out.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. I think I'll stick to my old chowder recipe.

Not sure about the spring peas in chowder. Seems like an odd combination.

This chowder was a hit at my last party. I served it with some crusty bread and everyone raved about it. Definitely a keeper recipe!

I love chowder, and this recipe is one of my favorites. It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a bit of extra Old Bay seasoning to give it a little kick.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my family and everyone loved it. The chowder was creamy and flavorful, and the spring peas added a nice pop of color.

I'm not usually a fan of fish chowder, but this recipe changed my mind. The spring peas added a sweetness that balanced out the fishiness, and the bacon gave it a nice smoky flavor.

This chowder was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the spring peas, fish, and bacon all came together perfectly. I especially loved the creamy texture of the broth.
