Newfoundland Fish Chowder. Cooler days means cozy food choices. I love a good hearty soup or stew on a crisp fall day. We always have cod fish in our freezer. Cod fish that my Father catches every summer during the recreational food fishery here in Newfoundland. I serve cod several different ways but one of my favorite is in a chowder.
Ingredients
4 slices bacon
2 onions, chopped
1 teaspoon summer savoury
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
White pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or dried chives
Directions
1. In a large, heavy saucepan, cook bacon over medium high heat for about 10 minutes or until crisp.
2. Chop the cooked bacon coarsely and set aside.
3. Drain off all but 1 tablespoons bacon fat from saucepan.
4. Add onions and savoury to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened.
5. Add potatoes, carrots, water and salt.
6. Bring to boil. Cover; reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender.
7. Add the cod chunks; simmer for about 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
8. Add milk and pepper, heat through.
9. Serve in bowls and garnish with the bacon and chives

Sarah,
That looks so good! I love hot soup in the fall/winter. My husband is allergic to shellfish so a lot of the yummy seafood chowder is out of the question. This is perfect!

Your cod fish chowder looks so good–reminds me I haven’t made a chowder in a long time, so will have to get busy with it! Thank you for sharing–I bet this tastes fabulous.
This sounds fabulous. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Hi!
My husband makes the best chowder ever (we use only shellfish thought-and lots of bacon!!) and he’s from Newfoundland! That, and homemade tea biscuits are a favourite meal we make over the Christmas holidays, and usually for our New Years Eve party. Are you from Newfoundland? I lived there for a few years, and we visit every summer. Made my way here from JAQS Studios.
I showed this to D and he just had one word – YUM! Looks like I will be making this soon. Thanks so much for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you next week.

I love fish chowder and all the slightly different variations. With cod being so scarce these days, I use haddock which is also a favorite fish.
