Do you have a best recipe? You know, a ‘been in my family forever’ recipe. One that whenever friends or long-distance relatives come to visit, this recipe must be on the menu.

Well, my friends, this is THAT recipe for me. The famous, award-winning Whitecavage fish chowder!

My father (who’s an excellent chef and taught me so much about cooking…and life) gave me this recipe when I went to visit my boyfriend’s parents (now husband) for the first time. I made this delicious salmon chowder for them and they have loved me ever since.

Now, before you scamper off, even if you don’t like fish, I promise you’ll love this recipe. Even if you’re not a soup person, I promise you’ll love this recipe. I’ve made this fish chowder for people who have said they were both not a fish or soup person and I have successfully converted them! That’s why I’m making the very bold claim that this is the best fish chowder recipe on the web.
