Lookin good fish

[@conormcquillan4379]

No way, Alex commenting on a video of my homeboy from Ireland!

[@museman1986]

Watched this today, went straight out, bought the ingredients and am currently cooking it. I live in the south of England but my grandparents lived in Donegal. Many is the time when I'd go to Dunfanaghy and have the seafood chowder at Arnold's restaurant. This should give it a run for it's money! Thanks for the video Donal, inspiring!

[@joshellis9863]

Very good. Made this with cod, shrimp, crab, and mussels for Christmas Eve...quick, easy, and tasty.

[@thedomesticgeek1]

This looks AMAZING!!! I'm so craving chowder now!

[@paddymcmullan]

Ehm what, Yes Theory also commenting on this vid? Donal Skehan representing Ireland like a beaut

[@Jemima1377]

If Jamie is still filming his 1 minute tips, I have a suggestion: How to prep mussels in 1 minute. (Generally: how to prep less commonly used foods would be helpful and interesting) ^_^

[@jamesosullivan3654]

Jemima1377 Seconded!

[@BottledCourage]

Definitely would be a cool video. Seafood when cooked correctly can be so rewarding and impressive!

[@LolaSoull]

[@laurindareis5240]

Im capeverdean but I love irish food more than my own food !! Its sooo gooddddd!!!!!

[@egrandoms524]

Banging this is!! Didnt use muscle as I had none but very very nice indeed simple and delicious

[@Mrs.EmJayBee]

Is it weird that I love the way he says the word "potato?"

[@donalskehan]

Haha!

[@emmamcguinness9886]

that is the Irish for you. many things we say sound weird lol

[@malinbackman5200]

As a student with a limited budget I don't often find myself affording to make food with that much fish in it. Instead I add a few extra potatoes, a little carrot and maybe a little celery. That way the chowder is still hearty but more fitting to my budget. :)

[@johncornishlandrut]

Malin Backman great idea 💡

[@tarupyon]

Never thought I'd want to have Irish food so badly until I found you 😍

[@AmberKelley]

YUM Donal Skehan ! I love seafood and this looks like a delicious, comforting and fun dish! Have to try this! :)

[@sitinursara3]

Well that made me hungry. And it's 4 a.m here in Malaysia :'D

[@sewfancy-hkhandmade4422]

I did it...great great recipe!!!

[@shayasanya9638]

I am currently waiting for this to finish cooking ;D Smells so delicious. Couldn't get my hands on smoked haddock though. I put in some smoked trout, I hope it'll work out :)

[@IkHebGeenSwagg]

Lookin' good, Donal. I love chowder but ive never tried it with seafood. Can't wait to make this

[@donalskehan]

Great to hear! :)

[@addalittlefood]

So rich and creamy! Bursting with flavour!

[@TheLimalicious]

I'm usually not too fond of seafood but that looks delicious!

[@AndersonTückmantel]

Vou fazer hoje!

[@ImjustKelly73]

Looks delicious Donal! TFS :D

[@PtolemyXVII]

The Irish version of bouillabaisse! This looks absolutely mouth-watering. I would substitute the bacon with buttery lobster for a pescetarian version.

[@jerylboy92]

Great video! And nice shirt man!!

[@chrisfox3260]

Oh my does that look delicious!

[@donalskehan]

Glad you like it!

Donal Skehan

[@niamhbourke6951]

Oh god and you too 😂😂 *****​

[@gaiaiulia]

Greetings from Dublin 🇮🇪☘️ and Happy New Year. Am going to try this (but without mussels). I'm allergic to them ☹️ It's such a pain not to be able to have chowder when eating out.

[@tiavaga]

I always hated the mussels, but will try this, looks really good.

[@donalskehan]

Great to hear!

[@elilaable]

Would love to get a quick & easy recipe on how to make lentil or chickpea burgers please! :) Cheers.

[@pwoo2008]

Love this chowder. It will be good serve this chowder with soda bread and a bottle of Guinness as a St. Patrick's day treat. :)

[@pwoo2008]

***** Well, I don't have a chance to make it since I have been very busy. However, I do make the fish chowder back in 2010. Here are the photos: plus.google.com/u/0/photos/108338172813613804293/albums/6129787194160487425 (let me know if you cannot see it) I may do it in Easter time. I just love these chowder soups as they do feel up the stomach especially in winter. :)

[@Pilusajaib]

i love the way he said potatos lol badados~

[@donalskehan]

Haha!

[@badenielsen]

I love the accent.. The way you say potatos sounds cool^^ it almost sounds like you say podados:)

[@donalskehan]

Haha!

[@emmamcguinness9886]

Martin Barkaway Nielsen this is how the Irish pronounce it lol

[@sandrawhite1366]

Donal love your St. Patricks Day Colab with my favourite you tubers. My husband loves seafood chowder but this looks delicious, simple and hearty. I'll have to head out to Nicky's in Howth to get some fish might leave out the mussels don't like them but maybe add some prawns instead and make this tomorrow evening

[@donalskehan]

Sounds delicious! Glad you're enjoying the collab! :)

[@thebotanicalmind]

Love chowder, but you have to have this on Inis Mor the Aran Island, where you will get the best Chowder

[@gustavobantel8562]

I love ireland ❤️

[@donalskehan]

Woot!

[@GlamourKillsTian]

Love seeing this familiar face on food tube!

[@donalskehan]

Woot!

[@PiccoliVirtuosi]

[@myang12003]

You take the moon, and you take the sun

[@Picotee810]

Yummy....have to try it soon, Thanks Donal :)

[@donalskehan]

You're very welcome!

[@salthepal]

What would you say about sautéing the fish a little bit before adding it to the chowder?

[@doniellestenson5231]

salthepal -no sauteing the seafood. Follow Donal's direction. His technique is classic. The result? Perfection.

[@rubyhopkinson9862]

How long do you leave the fish to simmer for?

[@allisoncampbell8263]

instead of fish stock you could use clam juice

[@follower556]

This looks good but with the smoked fish, salted butter and bacon is it not too salty?

[@thetrueparadisecity]

I don't think I can afford all the fish and mussels lol maybe I'll just pick one or two of those

[@ULiRD]

Where can I find the recipe? I can't find it in the box below.

[@ordinary.artistry]

Oh, Donal. Please live in my pocket so that you can cook me amazing nums and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.

[@donalskehan]

Haha! Best request I've got so far!

[@Irishyoutubers]

I'm going to give this a go for the children 🍀🍀🍀😋 Has anyone done it yet any extra tips? 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@rebeccayu13197]

Its funny(in a good kind of way) when he says potatoes like podadoes :D

[@donalskehan]

A LOT of people are saying that...LOL!

[@Lindapevs]

Flavour friends!! :-)

[@donalskehan]

Woot woot!

[@zaratyson92]

Is his recipe similar to clam chowder? If not please make one! :)

[@davelubeck9683]

And is he a Chef ??????? NO WAY !!!!!!

[@kristinrae1]

Where is the link to this recipe??

[@TharaldsenDubstep]

This guy knows swedish!

[@phigood]

I love Irish food!!!

[@zacareen]

Am I able to replace the bacon with something else?

[@zimzimma5688]

Maybe a couple of mashed up anchovies and let them desolve away to nothing when cooking the onion and also add a pinch of smoked pementon (paprika) at the same time, that way you'll get the salty umami and the smokiness that the smoked bacon would provide, would be slightly different to an Irish style chowder, but potentially very tasty and would get a cool reddish color from the pimenton. Or you could just leave it out and it would still be very good, in fact a lot of recipes in Ireland wouldn't put bacon in any way, if you choose this option add carrots and turnip in for a bit of extra flavour

[@emilyfung6342]

I'm allergic to seafood :( that makes me so jealous!

[@mrstephenporter]

i dont understand a word that lad is saying. GOOD JOB THERE'S SUBTITLES

[@michaelhooper2680]

[@markmall]

Now ! That shook you ! A reply to a reply you made 5 years ago ! !, I really should get out more ! ! Hi from Dublin !

[@mikedodd3323]

Really want the recipe but all the links do is take me to Jamie Oliver's website and not Donals page like it says 😔

[@mii-kal3814]

Mario rosenstock is the man

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Bacon with fish? I am a bit afraid to try.

[@serenedang]

can you please list all the ingredients in the description box? Since i find it a little bit hard to listen to you :(

[@SamsonOsztreicher]

say chowder frenchy!

[@grenier70]

Your potatoes looked like Yukon gold?.. Which aren't a waxy type of potato... Must be the video quality. What type did you use?

[@doniellestenson5231]

Di Grenier - use fingerlings either yellow or red.

[@grenier70]

Thx for the quick response. 😆

[@zimzimma5688]

I know it was five years ago lol, but in answer to your question, we don't have Yukon Gold in Ireland, the ones he's using are roosters I think, so use something on the waxier side rather than floury.

[@poptac6977]

What makes something a chowder not a soup?

[@Jillyciousification]

still waiting for the boyband choreo and singing Donal ... still waiting ...

[@aamina8581]

Instead of bacon can u use chicken
