MOM'S NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD CHOWDER

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!

EAST COAST SEAFOOD CHOWDER

This recipe is an adaption of one our neighbor serves on Christmas Eve. I am from the prairies, and the nearly four years spent in the Halifax area were the best. Now that I am back home, I miss it terribly. This recipe helps me feel like I am back there with my friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Tips:

Use fresh seafood. Fresh seafood will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can, buy it from a local fish market or seafood counter.
Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your chowder. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn.
Season your chowder well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs, such as thyme, bay leaves, and paprika.
Serve your chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This chowder is sure to warm you up from the inside out. Whether you are a seafood lover or just looking for a comforting soup, Nova Scotia seafood chowder is a great choice.
