A rich and creamy seafood chowder filled with white fish chunks, shrimp, potatoes and herbs in a comforting broth.

Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), cut into chunks
  • Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Onion or leek, finely chopped
  • Garlic, finely chopped
  • Butter or olive oil for sautéing
  • All‑purpose flour (to thicken the chowder)
  • Fish stock or chicken stock
  • Heavy cream or milk
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chopped onion/leek and garlic in butter or oil until soft.
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a light roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the stock, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the diced potatoes and simmer until nearly tender.
  5. Add the cream (or milk) and return to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add white fish chunks and shrimp (or other seafood) and cook until just done.
  7. Stir in fresh herbs, adjust seasoning, and remove from heat.
  8. Serve hot with crusty bread and a garnish of herbs.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the seafood – it can become rubbery.
  • Finish with fresh herbs or a splash of lemon for brightness.
  • If chowder seems too thin, simmer uncovered a little longer to thicken.
