To Die for Fish Chowder
Fish Chowder is something that I don’t make often, however, when I do we enjoy every bite of it. This Fish Chowder version is magnificent, for sure a to die for fish chowder recipe!
This fish chowder is literally to die for. It is the first time I have made something like this and let me tell you this one recipe is going to be made for years to come. It was so comforting, tasty and unique that I could not believe how good it was. Better than at restaurants. I don’t know how much money they can charge for something like this but I bit a lot.
I hardly ever go out to eat because I am very specific about food. I like to know what I am eating and since I like to use the best quality ingredients eating at home is easiest.
If you haven’t make chowder before I urge to try this chowder version, you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!
Here you can see that I got the ingredients together. The right picture is the Mahi Mahi. A very yummy fish. It holds together very well once cooked. 1 lb cost me about $5.50 so is not that bad.

Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 lbs Mahi Mahi or other firm white fish
- 1 15 oz canned corn
- 4-6 slices Canadian bacon,
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, chopped into small cubes

Directions:
In a 6 qt dutch oven, over medium to high heat, add 1 tablespoons of oil and cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes. On the mean time, in a small mixing bowl add arrowroot powder and milk and mix with a whisk until arrowroot powder is dissolved.

Just discovered your site and it’s awesome! I did notice that this one recipe is filed under Gluten Free and it’s not. I thought I would just mention it. But, I am pinning a lot of your recipes so I can make them at home. Thank you.
You are right, I will fix that, thanks so much :-)
Hi there – I made this today and I’m wondering why my chowder has a completely different color than yours. I don’t have that rich red color to my chowder that you have in your pictures. Did you use a tomato product that isn’t listed in the ingredients? My chowder still looks and smells delicious (I’m serving it later so haven’t eaten it yet)…but I was struck by the difference in appearance.
I think it can stem from the paprika. I don’t remember using tomatoes here so the only thing I could think off is the paprika. I used Spanish paprika which gives and intense rich red color! I hope it was tasty though :-) Thanks for stopping by.
Loved this recipe! I got the potatoes done before I put them in the pot. Just feel like all recipes wait for the potatoes. I drained the corn not sure if I should . Everything came out wonder!
Hi,
I m on a protein veggie diet and I m not allowed to eat corn.Also I don’t have either Canadian bacon or clam juice home. If I cook it without those 3 ingredients do you think it will still be good?
Thanks in advance
