Why Seafood Chowder?

Chowder is a class of dish that was born from the kinds of provisions available along coastlines and carries with it a certain culinary history. Chowder is thick and comforting, mostly the consistency of a stew, having potatoes, milk or cream, and a generous amount of seafood as the main ingredients.

Here is why it’s a go-to dish:

Comfort Food with Sophistication

A great seafood chowder recipe can balance healthy ingredients like potatoes, onions, and celery with fresh seafood for a truly indulgent yet completely homey meal.

Versatility

The combination of seafood can be changed very easily according to where you live or even on the season. One seafood chowder recipe may use salmon and haddock, while another features clams, prawns, and crab meat.

Global Appeal

From New England, through Scandinavia, to coastal Cameroon, seafood chowder is one dish that resonates. Why? The ocean’s bounty is universal—and so is comfort food.

And we make it available anywhere in the world. Wherever you are, you’re able to order premium seafood with us, and all of it will be shipped or sourced locally through our network so you can enjoy this dish at home.

Ingredients – What You’ll Need

Now, let’s break it down to its base, mix of seafood, and finishing touches.

The Base

A general base for any seafood chowder recipe will typically include the following:

• Butter or oil to start the sauté: onion, celery, garlic

• Diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes are great options)

• A liquid: fish stock, seafood stock, or even shellfish stock

• Cream or milk for that thick, creamy texture

• Seasoning: thyme, bay leaf, nutmeg, or cayenne for extra kick

The Seafood Mix

Here’s where you get creative—but there are some common stars:

• White fish: cod or haddock — firm, flaky fish that holds up

• Shellfish: prawns, scallops, clams, mussels, crab meat

• Optional: corn, carrots, or celery for added texture and flavor

Finishing & Serving

Last touches count. Think:

• Fresh herbs like parsley and chives

• Crusty bread or oyster crackers

• A squeeze of lemon or a dash of hot sauce if you like heat

Step-by-Step Method – How to Prepare It

Here is a complete cooking walk-through. Adapt this for your batch size and local ingredients, but these steps should serve you well:

1. Dice the potatoes, chop the onions and celery, and mince the garlic. Clean and de-shell any seafood you’ll use.

2. In a large pot, melt butter (or butter + oil mix), add chopped onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté until softened.

3. Add flour for a roux to thicken. This gives your seafood chowder recipe that creamy texture.

4. Add stock and potatoes. Bring to a simmer until the potatoes are tender.

5. Add seasoning: thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne.

6. Add seafood—fish chunks, shellfish, crab meat—and simmer gently until cooked through.

7. Stir in cream or milk. Lower the heat to avoid boiling.

8. Remove bay leaf, season again, and garnish with herbs. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Tips & Tricks for Making It Your Own

1. Freshness Counts

Use fresh or high-quality frozen seafood. The success of your seafood chowder recipe depends on the quality of ingredients.

2. Textural Contrast

Mix soft potatoes, firm fish, and succulent prawns for variety. Carrots or celery add a pleasant crunch.

3. Don’t Overcook Seafood

Add seafood near the end of cooking to keep it tender.

4. Adapt to Region & Season

Use what’s local!

• In Africa or Asia: local prawns or white fish.

Q&A / Troubleshooting

My chowder is too thin.

Simmer longer without a lid or add flour/cornflour to thicken.

It tastes fishy or off.

Ensure seafood is fresh or properly frozen and thawed.

My potatoes fell apart.

Use firm potatoes and don’t overcook them.

It’s too rich.

Replace part of the cream with milk, or add lemon juice/herbs to lighten it.

How do I ship seafood in a hot climate?

Use insulated packaging with dry ice or gel packs. Refrigerate on arrival and cook immediately.
