1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried garlic flakes
8 ounces skinless fillets of grouper, red snapper or a combination, cut into bite-size pieces
1 pint chopped shucked clams or use half clams and half bay scallops, drained, juices reserved
4 cups whole milk
2 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 pound mussels in the shell, scrubbed and debearded

Steps:

In a large heavy pot, heat fat over medium heat. Add onion, shallot and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add seasoned salt, Old Bay, thyme and garlic flakes and cook about 1 minute, until aromatic. Add fish and clams and cook, stirring, 3 minutes, until fish is just opaque.
Add milk, half-and-half, sherry and reserved clam juices and bring to a simmer. Add mussels, oysters with their juices, potatoes and corn, and simmer very gently until mussels open and potatoes are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. If desired, remove mussels from shell and return to the soup.
Stir in lemon juice and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

I've tried this chowder several times, and I've never been impressed. It's always been too salty and fishy for my taste.

This chowder is not worth the effort. It's bland and flavorless. I would not recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out too thick. I think I'll add more milk next time.
