SPRING PEA FISH CHOWDER
Sweet peas, pea shoots, and a sprinkle of lemon zest give this light, just-creamy-enough chowder an extra dose of freshness. While cod might be a more traditional chowder choice, we love halibut for its meatier texture and sweeter flavor.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Seafood: Whenever possible, use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good option.
- Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
- Add Vegetables Last: Add the vegetables to the stew last so that they don't overcook and become mushy.
- Season to Taste: Taste the stew before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
