Rustic Fish Chowder
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 30 min.
YIELD: 12 servings (3 quarts).
President John F. Kennedy's affinity for fish chowder was likely inspired by his love of sailing off the coast of New England. In my version, I use fresh halibut my brother-in-law, a commercial fisherman, catches in Kodiak, Alaska. Top servings with grated Parmesan, minced green onions or a few drops of hot sauce.
