Don't cut the raw fish into chunks. Immerse the entire fillets in the liquid; they'll break up naturally as soon as they're cooked through.

Amazing & yes speedy! Started with jar of anchovies & its oil, garlic w/the other stated ingredients, bottle of clam juice & water. Perfect for this sloshy night in NY.

Susie

Excited that this turned out so well as I don’t cook w/ fish much. Started by dissolving 2 anchovies into olive oil & butter. Added onion, carrot, celery, potato, red pepper flake, smoked paprika & blk pepper. For liquid, used Pinot Grigio, chicken broth & clam juice. Thickened w/ half & half. Added .75lb tilapia & canned minced clams. Rough chopped 15 pre-cooked shrimp into bowls before ladling in stew. Voila! Fish stew. Served with garlic toast. Fam loved it. Does into reg rotation. Thx, Sam!

I've made this for years and love to throw in a good lot of chopped parsley at the end along with lots of black pepper. Cod is good.

Michelle

Wow am I a chef? Used cod + bacon + leeks + carrots + potatoes + veg stock + clam juice + paprika + slices of hot pepper + a few dashes of Worcestershire for depth. I cant wait to make this again and impress my bf whos not my bf

For yellow color as shown in photo, add 1 t turmeric. Instant yellow magic plus hint of added flavor.

No need to pre-cook the fish. The heat of the chowder will take care of that. Pre cooking or boiling the fish will over-cook. Good rule of thumb for any seafood chowder.

NH

A bottle of clam juice mixed in with water and white wine works great.

I started off without a recipe for my version of fish chowder. Main difference: I add cooking sherry to the onions and bacon (yes, I'm reckless), no carrots in mine, and I add the potatoes once I've got a broth going. Otherwise, pretty much the same dish ... easy and oh-so-tasty. I splurge though and use pricey shell fish in addition to cod or halibut. It's perfect for a chilly morning, noon, or night :)

Dee

Made this using white miso for broth (my go-to for any broth/bouillon) , added some red pepper flakes, and dressed it at the end with cilantro and lime wedges. Used good quality frozen cod fillets. Fantastic. Will add the 'basic' chowder to our regular meals!

jen

I would leave out the carrots. that would introduce a flavor I don't want.

Tony Millionaire

Chicken broth. I add thyme and sage for true New England chowder.

Jennie

This was great. Didn't use onions, did use carrots and celery. Cod, a can of clams, miso broth, clam juice, and white wine for the broth. Added some collard greens. Paprika and turmeric. Coconut milk instead of milk or cream. Next time will add more clams and some shrimp.

Joe P

My mother taught me that it's not chowder if it doesn't include diced celery.

Stephanie R

Coconut milk is a great addition instead of milk or cream.

Meme

This also makes excellent “runny” potato soup. Add some diced carrots/celery, more potatoes, extra milk, maybe a handful or two of cheese. My Kansas born, Depression raised grandma would add in a tin of oysters to the delight of her adult children at Christmas. My dad quickly learned to substitute the oysters for Velveeta if he wanted to avoid a riot from us brats born in the 80s. I now make it (sans Velveeta to appease my dairyman husband) when I need a reminder of what home tasted like…

Matthew

Yes what kind of fish? Don't different fish cook at different rates based on thickness, fatty or not? Are there fish you definitely shouldn't use? This is why I'm a baker.

Mark Lynn

I grill the fish filets whole briefly to give them a char and then cut them into rough chunks. I also use roasted corn kernels to punch up the smokey flavors. I recently discovered culantro and have started adding it to a variety of dishes. It's butch cilantro.

lvm

Used Burlap and Barrels “Smoke n Herb” seasoning, lobster bullion, white wine, carrots,onions,red peppers, potatoes,

Pete A

I didn’t have fish stock so I used two cups clam juice, 1 cup white wine, and water.

Merge

I pretty much threw the kitchen sink at this: bacon and butter (yum) diced red and yellow pepper, 4 cloves diced garlic, chopped potato, frozen peas toward the end (had no corn) and leftover cooked cod from the night before. I used white wine and water. Amazing and gone very quickly.

Nancy

Loved it. Great comfort food. Great with garlic bread! THANKS NYT.

ExDC

For the win! Onions, carrots, Fennel bulb sliced thin, canned corn, kale, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, thyme and dill...white wine, a dollop of yogurt since I didn't have milk. No potatoes bec of the carbs. Excellent cod was perfect! Next time, anchovies or coconut milk but not both...so good and easy.

Abe from Mamaroneck

Amazing recipe -family loved it!The tips to add clams in juice, bacon, cream, butter, and a little anchovy were helpful. Added extra hot paprika, pepper, cayenne and a little cayenne, too. Used spaetzel instead of potato.

datakat

I love a recipe that gives the basic idea and leaves me on my own to check the fridge, freezer and pantry.

Doug

Where is the recipe? All I'm seeing is a headline, a photo, and comments (??)

Russell

No fish stock? Try this. Add about 4 cups of water to a pot big enough that it's about one inch deep. Add a rack if you have one, (not critical). Steam a dozen, (or more), little neck clams until they open. Use the steaming liquid for fish stock, (clam broth). Add the steamed clams at the very end to the chowder just to warm them up.
