How to Make Easy Fish Chowder

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 4 cups of fish stock, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add 1 pound of cod or haddock, cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1 cup of peeled and diced potatoes.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill (optional).
  7. Serve hot, garnished with oyster crackers and a sprinkle of extra parsley, if desired.
