Fish Chowder

Fish Chowder

Serves 6

You'll Need
  • 3 ½ lbs boneless, skinless fish fillets (tilapia, haddock, salmon), cubed
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped fine
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups fish stock
  • 1 cup 10% cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Prep and Cook
  • In large saucepan, heat butter over medium heat.
  • Add onion, garlic and thyme.
  • Saute until onions and garlic are softened.
  • Stir in potatoes and fish stock.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are tender (approximately 20 minutes).
  • Add fish, bacon and cream to the pot.
  • Simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Good to know: This recipe calls for uncooked fish but if you have a lot of left-overs from making tacos, simply add cooked fish into the pot at the last minute. With respect to freezing, we advise against it as most recipes with potatoes, cream and/or cooked fish tend to suffer in texture from freezing. This is so good you’ll likely not have left overs.
