Manhattan-Style Fish Chowder

Loved it. I did make couple of tweaks. Instead of bottled clam juice, boiled my cache of frozen shrimp shells to make broth. I had a smoked pork chop in my fridge which needed using, so in it went. And added a a generous pinch of cayenne bc I'm a spice junkie!!

Chowder was outstanding! I changed the recipe a little by cooking 4slices of bacon in the pot then removed the bacon and added it later, crumbled. I then added 2Tblsp butter to bacon fat and cooked the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic in the butter/bacon fat. I also cooked the fish in the clam juice and water combined....then removed the cooked fish, to be added at the very end. The water/clam juice/fish broth was added after the wine was added....

Very good. I used cod instead of the halibut.

It was kinda bland. I was expecting more flavore because so many great things go into this soup but it all tasted like tomato. If I ever make it again, I will cut back on the tomato quite a bit and add fish stock instead of water.

This recipe is wonderful & has become a favorite. Thank you!

Great Broth, i substitued 8 oz of clam juice for 8oz of fish stock, and used cod instead of halibut. I also added red pepper flakes, lime juice and cilantro... It added a fresh kick to the dish. Very good

Simple and delicious. I did substitute low-fat chicken broth for the water. The soup was even better the next day. Definitely will make this over and over again. Easy for everyday but good enough for special occasions. Served this with a mixed greens salad and a cheese plate with bread.

Basic broth ingredients are good but seasonings must be increased. NO more salt though. Have you read the label on most clam broths? They are loaded with sodium. You should supplement with seasonings instead of more salt!! Also, I have always found cod or snapper to be more flavorful in these chowders & would recommend over halibut which is pretty bland.
