This was ok. Never had Fish Chowder before and I was hoping for better than it was!

I really liked this recipe but I did modify it a little. I added a can of crab meat, which added another texture and subtle flavor. And I used Red Snapper my husband had caught deep sea fishing instead of cod. Next time I might add cream or something for a slightly creamier flavor. But overall, very good!

This recipe is incredible, the chowder was better than what I've had a many restaurants. I used 2x the Old Bay for more kick as well as frozen flounder instead of cod and it was insanely delicious, an absolutely 5 star recipe.

THIS CHOWDER IS SPECTACULAR!! I made a few changes based on previous reviews and preference. I used an 8 oz container of sliced mushrooms. It looks like a lot but they reduce in size after cooking. I used 1 lb of cod, 1/2 lb of bay scallops, 1 lb of shrimp and 2 cans of minced clams. Instead of buying a separate bottle of clam juice, I saved the juice from the canned clams and mixed it with the flour. Two cans will give you one cup of juice. The variety of seafood added great flavor! I also used a full tablespoon of the Old Bay seasoning which I thought was perfect! I also took other reviewers suggestions and used one can of creamed corn and used 1 cup of half & half in place of the evaporated milk. My family absolutely loved it! Thanks for a great recipe.

It tasted like something that I have eaten in a nice restaurant! It was really easy to make and had a really great taste! I made a few substitutions based on earlier reviews. I replaced one of the cans of evaporated milk with 1 can of creamed corn and used about 1 tablespoon of the old bay seasoning (instead of 1/8 tsp). A salad and some cheese biscuits made the meal complete.

I tried this today for the first time and it is absolutely magnificent. Of course I made changes according to what I felt like having. I added two cups of clam juice and only one can of evaporated milk. I also took down the fish to 1 lb and added 1 lb of scallops and a can of baby clams. It was amazing. Thank you, this is going in my collection.

Fabulous taste, nothing but rave reviews from friends and family who get to taste it. I can't find any Old Bay Seasoning, so I leave it out. I also added a can of creamed corn a couple of times and a can of loose corn another. I prefer the creamed. I have made it without the clam juice when I didn't have any. Still great, but I prefer with the juice. And I like it with more mushrooms, say 8 oz. Try crimini or any of the more flavorful ones. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Other than adding a bit more Old Bay, as has been suggested, it really is a hearty dish. Will make this a regular dish in our household.

YUMMY! Just got back from Bodega Bay and found this recipe and it brought back good memories. Wonderful hearty stew. Can't wait to make again. I added some fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and celery salt to the stew also. Excellent! We paired it with Cheval Blanc wine from wine country.

This is delicious! I used haddock with this and it turned out perfectly. I left out the mushrooms as not all my family likes them.

Outstanding! Made a few changes: Used 1/2 tsp. old bay instead of what's called for. Added 1/2 tsp. basil and used 1 1/2 lbs cod, 1/2 pound of bay scallops. Cooked the vegetables in bacon drippings. Really great!

I followed the recipe exactly and it was very good. The only problem was that it lacked in flavor, it was a little bland. So next time I will add more Old Bay. We sprinkled it in our bowls as we were eating and it helped alot.

Fabulous! I've made it several times & the only thing different I did was add more Old Bay. Today, I made it & substituted the cod with shrimp. Delish!!

Great recipe, my husband and I loved it. I had some little fillets of crappy and they worked perfectly. Nice to not have to cook them up individually. Excellent recipe. Didn't have the spice called for but substituted 1 tsp thyme, and sprinkle of ground mustard, 2 cloves, and paprika worked just fine.

Good chowder! Cooked bacon, then the onion and celery in some of the bacon drippings (no mushrooms). Mashed the potatos a little before adding the fish. Nice comfort food.

**I'm upgrading my review. This chowder tasted much better the 2nd day! I still say it needs some doctoring to suit your tastes** I was underwhelmed with this chowder. I followed the tip to cook the mushrooms, celery, and onion in bacon drippings but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It definitely needs some doctoring, ie more Old Bay, scallops perhaps, etc. I also didn't care for the cod. I don't eat fish often so I didn't know what to expect of the cod beforehand. The bacon adds a nice depth to the flavor. I won't use this recipe again.

I had some mushrooms that needed to be used so I added extra & I used green onions. Instead of cod, I used red snapper that my son caught on a fishing trip. Hubby said the snapper was a pain to cube & that we are grilling the rest, just in case you were wondering. LOL I cut back on the spuds & used 2% organic milk to make it more figure-friendly & I increased the Old Bay quite a bit. Thansk Amy The!
