My family adores this recipe. If you can't find Cod, Tilapia or Swai can also be used. Do not use catfish. It has such a rich flavor. I use heavy cream instead of evaporated milk and I put the bacon in with the chowder. If you can't find Old Bay seasoning, just use salt, pepper and Tyme.

I loved this recipe! I used Striper for my fish-alot of it this time of year for our area-I took the advise of ReeRee's Kitchen and used a bit more Old Bay Seasoning, Mexicorn rather than mushrooms (don't like them) and 1.5 tsp liquid smoke-the liquid smoke brought all the flavors together-devine! I will make this again for sure but I will probably cook my potatoes separate and spoon them in at the end because they cooked so quick that by the time it was ready they were falling apart and i followed the times exactly...I used Yukon so it may be the type of potato-Thanks for sharing!

This was lovely. I turned it into a seafood chowder and added chopped shrimp and crab at the very end. Next time I would add a bit of sherry...maybe some roasted corn and red pepper. Easy to make. Nice for company as well.

Couldn't be better or easier! I skipped the celery, Old Bay seasoning, clam juice, and flour and it STILL made a fantastic soup. Takes me back to my childhood--mmmmm!

I changed a few things. I used carrots with the onions and other veggies. used beef broth instead of chicken. We had a ton of fresh walleye to use up so that is the fish I used. I used half and half and one pint of heavy cream instead of the evaporated milk. I also used coconut oil instead of butter. All in all this had a wonderful taste, a very hearty soup. I will definitely make this again!

Very nice and easy recipe. I had to leave out the mushrooms because my husband doesn't like them (unless he can't actually see them). He's a native New Englander and said that it was as good as any he'd ever tasted - high praise!

I loved this soup! I modified it a bit by adding extra mushrooms, frozen corn and some bacon, and also used lots of extra old bay and toni's Cajun spice instead of salt. Topped with oyster crackers and hot sauce it was delicious. Will make again

Unbelievable! I added clams, more old bay and had to use one 12 oz 2% milk b/c I only had one can of evaporated milk. Wonderful soup! Hit the spot! Thanks so much!
