Simple Seafood Chowder

Posted on 10/07/202516/07/2025 by Harbour Fish We think smoked fish is always a great addition in seafood chowders, for added depth of flavour. You can get creative with this dish though – you might like to add whole prawns, prawn cutlets or sliced squid tubes to mix it up. If you like lots of shellfish in your chowder, add more than this recipe recommends. We stock a great fish stock in-store in Dunedin and Queenstown, or make your own using our recipe. Serves: a family of four. Use: a thicker fresh fish fillet – like Monkfish, Elephant, Ling, Gurnard, or Blue Cod – and any smoked fish that you like! INGREDIENTS
