Fish Chowder

Fish Chowder

This fish chowder recipe is one of the best chowders I’ve had; my kids love it too! The fishermen of Bodega Bay, California, shared this favorite, quick, and easy recipe with my sister during a fish festival. We top the chowder with bacon bits and a few shakes of hot sauce for a little spice. Enjoy!
