Expert Tips

Fish is a lean protein source that supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

Halibut is a bit more expensive than some fish, but it provides a wonderful flavor and texture to this chowder. If you like, any firm fish can be used.

Olive, canola, and sunflower oils are high in healthful monounsaturated fats. Soybean, corn, and safflower oils are high in polyunsaturated fats.

This came out very good! I too made my own potato mix, I boiled some chopped red potatoes, and I added 1 green bell pepper and red onion to the celery stage. I also super-charged the veggie content by using 5 celery stalks instead of 1, and adding 2 thinly sliced carrots. This chowder really need some salt though, not too much, but it helps, and I added lots and lots of freshly ground black pepper.

This was a very fine chowder. I made my own Potatoes O'Brien (just roast some potatoes with green onions and chopped red pepper) and added a dash of hot sauce. This is definitely on our favorites list!
