this is the very best chowder I have ever had. I'm not sure as to the origin as I only have an old weathered copy from some cook book but their is no name visible. I have added the large shrimp and the garlic to kick up the flavour. Read more It is best served with a pan bread like the one in my other recipes and flavour the bread with cheddar and fresh dill.
