I make something like this when Hubby has a bad day fishing and only gets one or two! I KNOW I will love this one. Perfect!

Thanks -- my husband is a fisherman; on Sunday he caught a 43-inch Rockfish. We've eaten filets (oh so good) and now I'm looking for a chowder recipe. I'm trying your recipe tonight.

Made the chowder -- and as I suspected -- it is a hit. We added Old Bay Seasoning to the chowder at the table, and it added a nice kick.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
