Cooking Tips

• Use a firm white fish, such as cod or haddock, for the best results.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for extra flavor and texture.
• If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can add a roux made with butter and flour to the pot.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chowder can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chowder on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Garnish the chowder with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
