This delicious recipe consists of some of my family’s favorite seafood: fish and shrimp. It also has leek, which added so much flavor to the broth. This seafood chowder has become one of my family’s favorite; I will definitely make this chowder again. Next time, I will make sure to double the recipe.

Can I add a tin of clams also?
Hi Marsha,
Yes, you can definitely add a can of clams.

You may replace the leeks with either green onions, white onions or shallots.

Hi,
Here’s a link for the nutritional values: http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quick_and_easy/shrimp_and_fish_chowder.php. Just to remember though that I skipped on the puff pastry. Hope this helps! Take care 🙂
I have read through the recipe and in the instructions it calls for flour, but doesn’t give an amount. How much should I use? Any help would be appreciated. This dish looks and sounds delicious!!
Oops! Fixed it. Thanks Dawna for letting me know 🙂 Enjoy!
