Everyone at the table gave 5 stars each making it well over 5 stars! This is a wonderfully flavored chowder and one that I will remember to make again, I can assure you!

This is to die for chowder. This was my first attempt at homemade chowder and it turned out great. I cooked it for longer than called for to make it extra thick and it turned out wonderful. Thanks.

This recipe is AWESOME, and easy to make too! My new husband said this is a keeper, and that I need to make it for my in-laws. A couple of things I modified - I cut out most of the flour (down to 1/4 cup) and added about 3 potatoes, and mashed one to thicken it. For the fish I used bay scallops, and orange roughy. I also served it with crispy garlic bread that I put on the grill. I will be making this recipe again and again! Thanks Dolittle! :)
