Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base Ingredients

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Potatoes and Stock

    Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, followed by the fish stock or clam juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Cooking Seafood

  1. 3

    Incorporate Seafood

    Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the shrimp, scallops, white fish, and clams. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.

  2. 4

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and let the chowder simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaf from the chowder. Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
