Mom's Fish Chowder

This is such a great, easy recipe! Made as is, it's delicious; BUT with a few tweaks, I made it my own. My husband LOVED it! Okay, so my changes were really just additions. I used seafood stock, homemade, in place of the water called for, plus carrots, celery, and garlic when I sautéed the onions. I also added shrimp and scallops and one filet of swai ,which I added to the leftover fish I used to make a red snapper earlier in the week. At the end, I added some thawed corn. I love everything about this recipe. So fast, so easy, and also adaptable. Give this a try because I know you won't be sorry!

So easy, and SO delicious! I used Alaskan Pollock I picked up at 99 cents a pound, so even better as it is easy on the budget. Kudos, and appreciation from Toronto, Canada.

This is a great fish chowder recipe! I used a pound of haddock, plus I added many of the ingredients others suggested. I used 1/2 cup fish sauce in place of 1/2 cup water, added about 1/8 tsp Old Bay Seasoning, 2 stalks celery, two chopped carrots, and 1/2 cup thawed corn. LOVE it!!

This is a great recipe although I did change a few things due to the fact I didn't have them. I used pearl onions instead of chopping up an onion. I had 2 pounds of cod so I doubled everything except the milk part which I ended up using just 2 cups of heavy cream. Threw some other spices and celery and it was fabulous!

Simple, easy and delicious. Even a single guy can make it!

I used Basa fish and also added about a Tbsp. of hot sauce and a bit of cayenne pepper. Very good recipe.

I loved this recipe. I did add 2 stalks of celery and some garlic with the onions. I also used heavy cream instead if evaporated milk as I needed to use it. I also added some old bay. The only direction that I would change would be to season the fish individually as the cooking time doesn't allow for all of that great taste from the broth to penetrate the fish.

Nice quick recipe. I sliced a couple carrots and added them into the potatoes while they were boiling. Seasoned with salt, pepper and ground sage. I also thickened the chowder with a Tbsp of File powder. This enhanced all the flavors together. Nice cool weather, comfort food.

Nice basic recipe. It needed a little flavor bump, so I added a bit of Old Bay type spice. Definitely a keeper!

Definitely a keeper, will make often. I used fresh cod (expensive!) so added a can of tuna (with its juice) near the end. Wanted it a bit thicker, so did that with instant mashed potato flakes. Now that I know how excellent this recipe, I can change it up in the future by adding shrimp or other seafood. I will try with other fish. WELL DONE!!

I love this recipe! This is my 5 year old daughter’s absolute favourite dish.

This is a great recipe! Not only is it easy to prepare it also tastes great!

I doubled the amounts, adding shrimp and scallops and used seafood stock instead of water. . Very easy to make..Delicious

mmm mmm good! I added a can of creamed corn and shrimp. Heaven!

It was great. I followed the directions exactly. I will make this over and over. My husband and I fish. I might try substituting the catch of the day. (All except catfish, that should be fried).

Followed the recipe exactly! This is a favorite in my house! It’s quick, only requires a few ingredients, and I love the flavor and consistency the evaporated milk gives it.

My kids really enjoy this recipe. I make it a lot. I use whatever fish and potatoes I have in hand. I multiply the recipe for 8 people. I add thyme and bay leaves, chicken broth instead of water, and I thicken it with a little flour. Also, sautéing the onions in bacon grease makes it richer.

I thought it was a great simple recipe, very tasty. The only thing, I used haddock which is all I had, a can of condensed cream of celery since I also didn't have condensed milk. I added some shredded carrot for color and seasoned it with some thyme and dill as well as a few shakes of cayenne pepper in addition to the salt and pepper. The recipe is so simple that it allows room for you to experiment. Thanks so much!

I added one tiny lobster tail and five ounces of crab claw meat with the cod filet ,and a few sliced mushrooms. i used clam juice and a little Sauvigon blanc

I love it. I added mushrooms in while the potatoes were cooking. I also added corn (drained) and red pepper flakes to enhance the flavor.

Made a double batch. Upped the heavy cream and some extra butter just prior to serving. Good Stuff

This soups was easy to make and the flavors are amazing ! Definitely making again. 10/10 for sure !

This was excellent. I had leftover baby potatoes I roasted with garlic and butter so I substituted them for the russet potato and cooked it down a bit more and it was amazing!

Excellent. I did add diced celery, shredded carrots, and a can of corn (drained). So easy and quick and my hubby requests it a lot. Even grandkids loved it.

I had leftover potatoes au gratin with spinach and leftover cod. What to do.....I found this recipe which seemed to be a good match for what I had. I did sub clam juice for the water and used a 12 Oz can of evaporated milk. Added a half cup of half and half and a T. of flour to thicken it. Also threw in a few handfuls of Trader Joe’s frozen mixed vegetables. Extra seasonings were 2tsp Old Bay, a shake of file powder, a few grinds of pepper and a bit of minced garlic. It turned out great!

The flavor was good but thought it should be creamier and thicker. Would change a couple things next time. Adding a little hot sauce at the end worked for us.

Made it with all whole milk, even used milk instead of water. It's delicious!

This is a great fast recipe. I did make some additions and substitutions like adding garlic, chopped carrot, corn and some parsley. I added 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of half & half. I had leftover haddock so didn’t have to cook fish to make this, just chopped it up. I’m not a big fish eater but this was delicious. Definitely making it again.
