  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter; add the carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, and corn and saute over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are barely cooked, stirring occasionally. Add the flour; reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add the Seafood Stock and bring to a boil. Add the seafood; reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the fish is just cooked. Add the heavy cream, if desired, and the parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Add 1 1/2 quarts of water, the white wine, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain through a sieve, pressing the solids. You should have approximately 1 quart of stock. You can make up the difference with water or wine if you need to.

MOM'S NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD CHOWDER



Mom's Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder image

Being from the Easy Coast, I've tried a lot of different chowders; however, my Mom's takes the cake. She makes a huge pot of this chowder every Christmas Eve and all of it is gone by Christmas night. Although it is not very healthy, it is an awesome treat once in awhile for any of us that love seafood! I normally throw in a dash of garlic and onion powder. Enjoy!

FAIRMONT SEAFOOD CHOWDER



Fairmont Seafood Chowder image

I just had this delicious chowder at a Fairmont Hotel recently. It was to die for!!! I decided to look it up and found that the recipe is over 70 years old and is sold at most of the Fairmont's High-end restaurants. I thought I would post it here so my friends at Zaar can enjoy it at home. To make this recipe, it cost me $75 in ingredients, but its $13 a bowl at the restaurant so I figure I'm ahead ; )
