  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the chowder will taste. Try to use seafood that was caught or purchased within the last 24 hours.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the chowder: Sautéing the vegetables will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy in the chowder.
  • Use a good quality sherry: The sherry is one of the key ingredients in this chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sherry that is dry and has a nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chowder: The chowder is done when the seafood is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Overcooking the chowder will make the seafood tough and the vegetables mushy.
  • Serve the chowder with crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is a hearty and filling soup, so it's perfect to serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
