Still dreams about that Italian fish chowder (Gloucester is set a hour drive from where we stay now, so sadly, we don’t get up there very frequently!) and he lately set out to recreate it at domestic.
It’s a incredible delicious chowder with a highly spiced (however not too highly spiced) tomato base flavored with onions, peppers and celery plus tender chunks of halibut (or cod) and potatoes.
