SLOW-COOKER FISH CHOWDER



Slow-Cooker Fish Chowder image

A great, hearty fish chowder that's lower in fat. Perfect for a winter's day. This recipe is very versatile. I use low-sodium, homemade stock and I find there's enough salt from the bacon that no more is needed. You can change up the seafood, the vegetables, and the seasonings. I find seafood chowder difficult to reheat (a no-no at work!) so I would make this when I have company coming who can finish it in 1 or 2 days.

Categories     Chowders

Time 8h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb firm fleshed white fish fillet, cut in 1 inch cubes (cod, haddock, plaice)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place onion, celery and carrots in the bottom of a crock pot and top with fish cubes.
  • Sprinkle with herbs and seasonings.
  • Top with tomatoes, wine and clam juice.
  • Cover and cook on Low 7-8 hours (High 3-4 hours).
  • One hour before serving, combine flour, melted butter and cream.
  • Stir into chowder and continue cooking for remaining time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm, flaky fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia work best for chowder. Avoid fish that are too oily or delicate, as they may break down during cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes are classic chowder vegetables, but you can also add others like corn, peas, or leeks. Vegetables should be cut into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Season well: Chowder should have plenty of flavor, so don't be afraid to season it well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Common seasonings for chowder include thyme, bay leaf, and paprika.
  • Cook slowly and gently: Chowder is a slow-cooked dish, so it's important to cook it over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the flavors to develop and the fish to cook through without becoming tough.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is a hearty and filling soup, but it's even better when served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Slow-cooker fish chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day.
