Restaurant style comfort food directly from Maine that is easy to make and wonderful to eat!! Any white fish such as haddock may be used in place of the cod.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound sliced bacon
1 large onion, chopped
5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 ½ pounds cod fillets, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
½ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon strips in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crisp, then remove to paper towels to drain. Drain grease from the pot, reserving about 1 tablespoon. Set heat to medium, and fry onions in the reserved bacon grease until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, and fill pot with just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, then cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add fish pieces, evaporated milk, whole milk, and butter. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, and top with crumbled bacon pieces.

I'm allergic to seafood, so I used imitation crab meat in this chowder. It turned out great!

This chowder is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more milk or broth next time.
