1. Delicious! I added cornstarch to thicken it up, some Old Bay seasoning, more salt and pepper, and McCormick's salt free, all purpose seasoning to kick up the flavor. Love, love this chowder. Thank you very much for sharing your recipe.

2. I am puzzled by all the blandness comments as I live not too far from the ocean and have eaten from Gloucester all the way up to Old Orchard Beach in Maine..., A true fish chowder to me was very simple and while I understand all the comments, I didn't care as much for adding seasonings(NEVER had carrots either in a chowder) beyond those in this recipe...however that being said it was still delicious. My husband basically likes all chowders..I will deinitely make this again!!!! It is easy to tailor to whatever you like.

3. This is a great recipe! It appears to be very simple and boring, but it's very delicious. I used a combination of whiting and fresh tuna instead of cod, but I suppose about any fish would be good. Very nice and easy! UPDATE: 5/10/16 I use Grouper cheeks in this and they hold together nicely. Also, having a son with a milk allergy I substitute Earth Balance original spread (butter substitute) and Silk Almond Milk. Instead of just water, I also add about 2 tsp of Better than Boullion Chicken Base DEE-LISH!

4. You want to use butter in this dish if you want a great tasting chowder, and I have to admit I used quite a bit more than called for because the butter gives the broth so much flavor! I used haddock instead of cod, because we like it much better and it was a delicious meal indeed!

5. Good stuff. I used butter instead of margarine, and full cream milk so it was extra smooth. I was surprised how tasty the broth was given that it was only cooked for 25 minutes.

2. I used shallots instead of the onion because i had them on hand. I added old bay to the onions, celery and potatoes and instead of water used a can of chicken broth. I upped the amount of seafood to 2 lb and used Fat free 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk. I was awesome and I think pretty healthy. My husband and son loved it. we served it in bread bowls.

3. Excellent recipe! I substituted butter instead of oil and added evaporated milk instead of milk. Beyond that I only added a cup of sweet corn and a tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro, gave it a nice flavour. Thanks for the recipe!
