Mom Moms Seafood Chowder Recipes

MOM'S NOVA SCOTIA SEAFOOD CHOWDER

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with lightly salted water; bring to a boil. Add onions and carrots; cook until slightly tender, 10 minutes. Add potatoes; cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in salmon, cod, scallops, shrimp, lobster, and crab; cook over medium heat until salmon and cod are firm but chunks are still slightly translucent in the center, about 10 minutes. Drain half the water from the pot and add clams, heavy cream, and half-and-half. Place butter chunks atop the soup; season with salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until salmon and cod are fully cooked and flake easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

MOM'S CLAM CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cook potato in 2 cups water with pinch of salt until tender, but do not drain.
• In a small pan, saute onion in butter until tender; add flour, cayenne, and celery seed; stir well.
• Drain juice from clams into potatoes and reserve clams for later.
• Add parsley and milk to potatoes, and stir well.
• Heat potato mixture, and add onion/flour mixture, stirring constantly until thickened slightly.
• Stir in clams; and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cook for 5-10 minutes more or until heated through.
• Serve.

MOM'S FISH CHOWDER

Steps:

• Dice the onions into 1/4-inch dice.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, melt the butter, then add the diced onions. Cook the onions until they are just translucent.
• Peel and dice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch cubes. Add potatoes and clam juice. Simmer until potatoes are just barely tender.
• About 15 minutes before serving, cut any filleted fish you are using into about 3-inch sections. (It will fall apart after cooking into bite-size pieces. Cutting it up smaller before cooking would yield pieces that are too small in the finished dish. Add fish and simmer about 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.).
• To prevent breaking up pieces of fish, avoid stirring.
• Add the light cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dill. Heat through, taking care to keep the heat low and prevent the cream from curdling.
