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!

Tips:
- Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the chowder will taste. If you can, buy seafood that was caught the same day.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and texture to chowder. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn.
- Season the chowder well: Chowder should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves for extra flavor.
- Let the chowder simmer: Simmering the chowder for a while allows the flavors to meld together. The longer you simmer the chowder, the better it will taste.
- Serve the chowder with crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is traditionally served with crusty bread or crackers. This helps to soak up the broth and adds a nice textural contrast to the smooth soup.
