This chowder is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I was disappointed with this chowder. The broth was bland, and the seafood was overcooked.

The Old Bay seasoning is a must in this recipe. It really gives the chowder that authentic Maryland flavor.

This seafood chowder is a real catch! The broth is rich and flavorful, and the seafood is cooked to perfection. I especially love the addition of Old Bay seasoning, which gives the chowder a classic Maryland flavor.
