Ingredients

1 lb fish fillet
16 ounces frozen corn
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 cups onions, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced (1 or 2 stalks, with top)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
12 ounces chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
4 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf (2 if small)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (garnish)

Directions

1

Rinse the fish and cut into bite-sized chunks. Remove the corn from the freezer to take some of the chill off while preparing the basic chowder. Set both aside.
2

Melt 1 T butter in a large stock pot. Saute the onion, celery and garlic until almost translucent. Add the bell peppers and continue to saute until all are soft.
3

Add the broth, water, potatoes, and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
4

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. (If desired, mash some of the potato to additionally thicken the chowder).
5

In a bowl or jar, mix the flour and milk until smooth. Pour this and the evaporated milk into the chowder.
6

Add the fish, corn, and remaining 2 T butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook, stirring gently, another 5 to 10 minutes until fish is cooked through and chowder is thickened slightly. Remove bay leaf before serving.
7

Garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Pass Tabasco at the table.
