This chowder is not worth your time. The flavors are bland and the fish is mushy.

This chowder is okay, but I've had better. The flavors are a bit one-dimensional and the fish is a bit dry.

The chowder was good, but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner consistency.
