This is a quick and simple lunch or supper dish that is delicious. Most supermarkets or fish shops sell a seafood mix (usually salmon, a white fish and a smoked fish) that they have already cut up. This takes the most time intensive task out of your hands. The fish means that is a hearty dish and served with some nice brown bread makes for a wonderful supper when you have come in from a long day.
If you don’t have fish stock just add some chicken or vegetable stock instead.
The finished chowder will keep in your fridge for 2 days and can be heated up easily in a saucepan or the microwave.
