This creamy yet not-too-thick fish chowder has chunks of perfectly cooked fish, bacon, potatoes and celery. Use mild-flavored white fish such as cod, halibut or snapper, or even a combination, and make sure to season it before cooking so each bite is flavorful.
Prep & Cook Instructions
- Peel and quarter potatoes, then slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces; set aside. Cook bacon 9 to 10 minutes in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned and crisp. Add onion, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, check fish for bones and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks; season all over with salt and pepper.
- Add stock to vegetables and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Simmer 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat, until tender. Add fish and cream and gently cook 3 to 4 minutes (do not bring to a boil), stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through and flakes easily (thinner fish fillets will cook faster).
- Remove from heat. Discard bay leaf and stir in parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with oyster crackers, garnished with more parsley.
