Pretty easy to make, and a good basic recipe. If you make it according to the directions, you will end up with a pretty bland meal. It also didn't have the thick consistency normally associated with 'Chowder'. I added flour for thickness, and spiced it up with a fair amount of garlic salt, as well as black pepper and crushed red pepper.

Simply scrumptious! No throwing this one back. Even my fish-hating husband agreed that this recipe is definitely a keeper!

DOUBLE IT! If you have kids. I didn't have any celery or carrots so I substituted a cup of frozen mixed vegetables. Served with fresh biscuits WOW!

This was good but not special, I used cod, sorry but I probably won't make it again, it did not seem to have a lot of taste. I added cayenne pepper and some cumin, to give it a little kick, also used just one tablespoon of oil and followed the rest exactly. Maybe more seasoning would help the flavour.

Very easy. The classic fish chowder recipe. I bought a bag of assorted seafood pieces in St Johns ,NB on a tour and made this on a hotplate. Yummmm!!! Use butter instead of margarine.

Good stuff. I used butter instead of margarine, and full cream milk so it was extra smooth. I was surprised how tasty the broth was given that it was only cooked for 25 minutes.

I used this recipe, but substituted a bag of mixed seafood(mussels,shrimp,squid,cuttlefish,etc) instead of the cod fish. It turned out great!

I followed this recipe exactly as written with the exception that I doubled it and I made a mixture of cornstarch and mil in hopes of thickening it somewhat as the broth was thin and needed more body. It is quite bland tasting but could be spiced up easily which I will do the next time around, and there will be a next time. This is a very healthy chowder and with a few tweeks from the spice rack could be out of this world. If the intent of the originator of this chowder was to keep it healthy, I would not substitute half and half for milk. I think it can be thickened nicely with a cornstarch or flour mixture; maybe even a roux. Thanks you Dreamgoddess for sharing your adopted recipe, it was definately worth saving.
