How to Make Down East Haddock Chowder
Place haddock fillets, 4 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, simmer gently, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the cooked haddock from the saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly, then flake into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the fish stock.
Skim off any foam from the fish stock.
Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and celery (if using) to the fish stock. Add black pepper.
Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Gently stir in the flaked haddock.
Pour in the milk. Heat through gently, stirring occasionally, being careful not to boil. Boiling will curdle the milk.
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Stir in the butter.
Ladle the chowder into heated bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
