Chunky Bermudan Fish Chowder

Recipe #288563 | 3 hours | 2 hours prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sagadahoc

The first recipe I've contributed. This has become a household favorite and good for guests. I found it in Julia Aiken's cookbook Easy Entertaining, where she explains that she's taken some liberties with the original Bermudan recipe, preferring chunkier soups to liquified ones. Me too.
