SLOW-COOKER FISH CHOWDER



Slow-Cooker Fish Chowder image

A great, hearty fish chowder that's lower in fat. Perfect for a winter's day. This recipe is very versatile. I use low-sodium, homemade stock and I find there's enough salt from the bacon that no more is needed. You can change up the seafood, the vegetables, and the seasonings. I find seafood chowder difficult to reheat (a no-no at work!) so I would make this when I have company coming who can finish it in 1 or 2 days.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • You can cook this fish chowder on high for about 4 hours, or you can cook it on low for about 6 to 8 hours. Whichever you choose, preheat a covered slow cooker to that setting while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients. Use a paper towel to wipe down the sides and the bottom of the cooker with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Cut the fish into bite sized pieces, then place them in the slow cooker along with the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion (include any additional seafood you want to use
  • Add the parsley, rosemary, salt and white pepper as recommended or to taste. Gently mix them in with the fish.
  • Add the hot sauce to taste, along with the diced tomatoes, white wine and clam juice.
  • Stir gently again to mix blend them. Cover the cooker and cook on high for 4 about hours or on low for about 8 hours.
  • About an hour before your fish chowder is finished cooking, blend together the heavy cream, melted butter and the flour. Make sure it is mixed well. Gently stir it into the chowder and continue to cook for another hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like cod, salmon, or halibut that can withstand the slow-cooking process.
  • Prep Your Veggies: Cut your vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and to ensure they retain their texture.
  • Layer Your Ingredients: Place the vegetables in the bottom of the slow cooker, then add the fish fillets on top. This helps prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Add Liquid: Use a combination of broth, water, or wine to create a flavorful cooking liquid. The amount of liquid you need will depend on the size of your slow cooker and the amount of vegetables you're using.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs, spices, and seasonings. This will help infuse the fish and vegetables with flavor.
  • Cook on Low and Slow: Cook your fish stew on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the fish to cook evenly without drying out.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a fork to gently flake the fish. It should be opaque and cooked through, but still moist.
