Fish Chowder

Fish chowder is an English soup prepared with fish, potatoes, and corn on a starchy creamy soup base.

I love chowders, regardless of that type it is, they are creamy, thick, chunky, warm, delicate, savoury, and most important of all delicious, they simply warm your soul, a perfect comfort dish. During the past we had prepared all sorts of varieties of the chowder like clams, bacon and corn, curried, seafood and crab but we did not have a fish version yet, that is why today we are making this fish chowder, made with two types of fish, salmon and monkfish.

Basically this dish is similar to most of what we had posted before where it is cream based rather than tomato based, like our past recipes we also used potatoes to give that starchy consistency as well as corn to give it a sweet flavour and an extra layer of texture.

Notes

If you cleaned and gutted your own salmon, scale and save the skin, cut it into pieces. Dry it out with paper towels, season with salt then place it in the oven then bake it in the oven at 180C for 20 mins or until fish skin is crispy.
