I am a Bermudian and I have tried this recipe many times. I believe that you have to add your own amounts of seasoning when making fish chowder - to suit your personal taste - this recipe is the PERFECT start!
I have made this several times and have made a few changes . I added a few more spices, cayenne, dash nutmeg, tumeric, cumin, dash cinnamon, ginger and coriander. Ok, more than a few. The nutmeng, cumin and cinnamon especially give the flavour an exotic lift. No one can quite figure out the undertones but they love it. Just a little of everything is all it takes. Not too heavy or it is overwhelming.
This is a good start. I looked at a few other recipes and tried to make it taste like what I had in Bermuda so I made a couple of changes I added a dash of nutmeg allspice cayenne pepper thyme one clove 2 tbsp of dark rum 4 tbsp of sherry pepper sauce and Walleye for the fish because I have a freezer full of it. Turned out great and smells so good when it's cooking.
Wow this was an even bigger hit than I expected. The store was out of clam juice so I used 3 cans of clams packed in clam juice and added a cup of water. The clams made the chowder nice and meaty. Will definately make again.
This soup is spectacular and very easy. I used chicken broth in lieu of the clam juice and also added a can of corn. I wanted a recipe for striped bass and this was perfect. Will definitely make again!
Excellent!! I did make a few personalizations... added canned baby clams added a habenero instead of a jalapeno and also added 1/2 cup of dark rum and 1 lb of jumbo prawns. The soup was good right after preparing but was fantastic the next day!!! I am currently making another batch to freeze and have ready for a last minute thaw and serve dinner.
This recipe was great. I cooked it exactly according to the recipe but since I had just under a pound of cod I added some canned clams when I added the fish. It was really good. Just enough zing but not too much.
This was a pleasant surprise. I really liked the flavor and it was nice to have such a fresh tasting fish soup!
I had to make do with the ingredients I had on hand and I didn't have enough clam juice. I made up the difference with chicken broth. I think it would have been much better if I had had enough juice. I did add extra seafood though (bar clams scallops crab shrimp) and used tilapia instead of snapper since I didn't have any.
I did everything as written except that I forgot the potatoes. It's a little bland. If I made it again I'd add some extra seasonings.
