Seafood Chowder - Traditional Newfoundland - Bonita's Kitchen

[@pennylane5506]

So Delicious. Thank you for your recipe. Here in the Missouri Ozarks, we don't grow Lobster, scallops, shrimp or crab. We do have bass, blue gill, crappie, perch, carp and frog legs, etc, and can get the shell fish at the grocery store, frozen. 🤣My mother-in-law, a Florida and California girl, taught me how to make clam chowder for her son. What a beautiful cook she was. A chef in every sense. You have brought back to my mid 70's wonderful memories. I enjoy your channel so very much, no matter what you are cooking or baking. Any recipe I have made of yours is fantastic! My dad used to make pear preserves, easy recipe, fresh lemon juice, a few thinly sliced lemon rounds, sugar and water and the pears. Problem is, I have no idea of how much of what goes in the pot. Same with tomato preserves. He made them as he made them better than my sweet momma did! If you could make a recipe of the preserves, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you greatly Bonita for your recipes. I so enjoy your channel!♥️👍♥️

[@lorettaburt908]

Bonita. Thanks for this chowder...a question. Would it be ok to chop the celery. And leave it there ?? Wonder why u threw it away ........and do all. The mixing make the fish disappear like instead of chunks ?,....thanks

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Loretta: I just seen your message I'm sorry for not responding, thank you for your question. You can leave the celery there if you like and also leave the fish in chucks, I just use the celery in this recipe to infuse the flavours and then mixing didn't make the fish disappear. I just wanted to have equal cooking time by stirring all the ingredients together. I hope this answers your question and sorry once again for not seeing your message. Bonita

Mmmm, my mouth is watering now. I'm from Newfoundland and you are making me homesick. I have not been home for many years and I feel like I am sitting in my sister's kitchen and I can almost smell the chowder. I know that scrunchions are the traditional way to make the chowder, but I can't stand them. I would cook the onions in bacon instead. I must try and make it soon. Thanks and best regards.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Tanya Snodgrass thank you for your comment and visiting Bonita's kitchen, your message made me smile.

Hey Bonita. Me again. I used this recipe tonight and it was great. I will note however, that I found the 2 cups of hot water in step #3 wasn't enough. So I just put in more water until it nearly covered the top of all the veggies. Also, I added in a cup of white wine at the very end, in the last 30 minutes of the chowder cooking. Thanks again for your great ideas!

That sounds lovely and thank you for following up with us and I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe, the white wine would have taste lovely. Thank you Calvin and have a lovely evening. :) Stay safe....Bonita

Great recipe. I am defiantly going to try this. I will be using a lot of northern pike. Can this be frozen for future use?

[@bonitaskitchen]

woodstacker thank you for your message and visiting Bonita's kitchen, northern pike is a wonderful fish to use and very tasty. To answer your question, yes you can freeze this chowder but remember when you take it out of the freezer let it thaw first and slow warm it on a low heat. When cooking anything with cream or milk it will burn and curdle, I hope this helps you. Bonita

[@cynthiaryan4321]

Hi Bonita, thank God I finally found you. how many times has my husband said, that’s not how mom used to make it! I love the old traditional Newfoundland recipies and simple way you demonstrate them. I love Seafood chowder, always order it in a restaurant but have never made it myself. I have a few questions before I try this. Do it have to be carnation milk? I’m not a big fan of milk, but I can tolerate fresh milk, but if they use carnation milk in the restaurants, I will use it, as I always have it in my cupboard. So that’s the first question. Also, once you add the milk, do you let it boil, or just simmer? And last, I have cod, shrimp, scallops, but was wondering if I could use that fake lobster flavoured crab as my fourth? TIA.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Cynthia, thank you for your lovely message and for stopping by, I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe for seafood chowder. This recipe was published in the East Coast Living Magazine in 2018 for the comfort food at its best. I like using carnation whole milk in a lot of my recipes, because of its creamy texture and old school taste. But if you wish you can use a whole milk or 2%, NEVER boil the milk only simmer and at the very end. Then when rewarming the chowder do the same, in a small saucepan and only on simmer. You don't want to curl the milk or cream, using any type of seafood that your family enjoys will work great. I'm not sure what type of milk or cream restaurants use of course it all depends on the Chef that makes the chowder. We also got a tomato soup base chowder kzbin.info/www/bejne/epzUZax3npV2hc0 and please visit www.bonitaskitchen.com for over 300+ recipes you can make and enjoy. :) Stay safe Bonita

wish we could get salt pork like you can, here in Manitoba. The stuff here looks like bacon and isn't half as good. Too salty and doesn't fry down nice. Maybe should soak this stuff.

Hi Robert: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel, I know what you mean about access to salt pork. I'm sure you can soak the salty pork you are talking about and then pat dry then try to fry it....I think every grocery store should have at less some traditional salt pork for people that enjoy.
