Categories     Fish     Shellfish

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
7 oz bacon, diced (about 5 slices), maple bacon used here
1 medium onion, diced
2-3 bay leaves (depending on size)
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
16 oz clam juice
12 oz water
2 lbs potatoes, red and Idaho used
3 ears fresh cut corn, or 9oz canned corn
10 oz Haddock, slice into 1 inch wide pieces (cod or scrod can be used)
2 6.5 oz cans minced clams, drained, reserved liquid, equal amount steamed fresh clams if available
4-6 oz fresh crabmeat, picked over for shells
1 pint Half and Half
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a six quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the diced bacon. When bacon is crisp, add the diced onions and bay leaves. Cook until onions are translucent then add the flour. Stir until the flour is the color of light brown. Add the clam juice and with a wooden spoon scrap the bottom of the pan to remove all the yummy bits that the bacon and onions left behind. Add the water and the reserved liquid from the canned clams then add the potatoes. NOTE: at this point if you are using fresh corn, add the corn kernels and the corn cob to the saucepan also for added flavor. Cover and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Add the fish. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the clams and crabmeat. Stir gently and add the Half and Half. Let chowder come to a low simmer and heat thoroughly. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Serve in a hollowed out bread bowl

Tips:

  • Use a variety of seafood: This will give your chowder a more complex flavor. Some good options include shrimp, clams, mussels, and cod.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn: Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn is a good option if fresh corn is not available.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and celery add flavor and texture to the chowder.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so make sure it is flavorful. You can use a seafood broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the chowder with crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
