This recipe was handed down by my mother, although I have changed it a bit. This really reflects our region, since New England is famous for its fish.

My family, 6yr old & 2yr old included, loved this. Used fish stock in place of water & used a mix of fat free half & half, whole & skim milk for the 3 cups milk. It was great.

The chowder was ok, a little milky, next time I would put only two cups of milk and one or one and a half cans of evaporated milk.

This perticular chowder is very good for people who are watching there sodium.

I would make it again with the changes.

Very good fish chowder and very easy to make. I live in New England, I know. Wonderful to have on these cold days. I did not change the recipe, I simply added some Old Bay seasoning.
