This was fantastic. I was afraid it would have a fishy taste and that it would turn off my picky-eater boyfriend but he loved it. I did change it up a little though. I didn't use pepper, zucc, or celery per picky boyfriend's choices and what I had on hand, but it turned out great. I added quite bit of cornstarch to the milk to thicken it to more of a chowder because I only had one can of diced potatoes. I also only used 7 oz of salmon--packaged, not canned. I would use canned next time because the packaged was a little dry dense. I also garnished with fresh dill instead of parsley.
