Even without adding the scallops, this recipe is excellent. Even better the next day.

Definitely five stars, although I had to make a couple of minor adjustments due to ingredients on hand! I had over 1 lb of large sea scallops to use and was out of haddock, so used 2 salmon filets (maybe 1/2 pound total). I didn't have any shrimp either (sigh!), but kept all liquid ingredients the same. Used a can of 2% evaporated milk and added remaining in 1% to make up the 4 cups. Also replaced half cup of my poaching liquid with white wine for extra flavour. Although I didn't use as much seafood as called for (4 pounds of haddock!), this still turned out fantastic, the extra seafood just would have given more substance to this wonderful chowder!

Fantastic! I used 2 cups milk and 2 cups half and half for a slightly richer base.I also added lemon juice and more pepper. I used salmon as I didn't have any haddock.
