It&#8217;s time to make some seafood chowder. This seafood chowder recipe is deeply flavorful and comforting. While you can certainly play around with adding different types of seafood, the particular m\u00e9lange of scallops, shrimp and fish included here is absolutely delicious. If you can&#8217;t make it to coastal Maine or Cape Cod this summer, this chowder is the next best thing (although let&#8217;s hope that you find yourself on a rocky, beautiful Atlantic beach soon).<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Seafood Chowder Recipe<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sliced bacon:\u00a0<\/strong>Diced lean ham also works well here if you&#8217;d prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:\u00a0<\/strong>Onion is a key aromatic element in this chowder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potatoes: <\/strong>Peeling and cubing your potatoes will help them cook evenly.<\/li>\n<li><b>Bay or sea scallops:\u00a0<\/b>Sea scallops are more tender and sweeter than the smaller bay scallops, which are less expensive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lobster meat:\u00a0<\/strong>If you use fresh lobster meat from the shell, reserve the shells to make seafood stock for future chowders.<\/li>\n<li><b>Medium shrimp:\u00a0<\/b>Peel and devein the shrimp before using (or buy them this way).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cod:\u00a0<\/strong>Cod has a sweet, delicate flavor and a flaky texture that holds up well in chowder.<\/li>\n<li><b>Haddock:\u00a0<\/b>Haddock tends to have a slightly sweeter taste than cod, though the two fish are often used interchangeably. Feel free to simply use more cod if you can&#8217;t find haddock, or vice versa.<\/li>\n<li><b>Butter:\u00a0<\/b>Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content of the soup.<\/li>\n<li><b>Fresh parsley:\u00a0<\/b>Finely minced parsley has a more elevated taste than dried parsley, though the latter will work in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><b>Curry powder:\u00a0<\/b>Curry powder adds a lovely earthiness and depth of flavor to this chowder.<\/li>\n<li><b>Whole milk:\u00a0<\/b>Use half-and-half instead of milk for added richness and creaminess.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaporated milk:\u00a0<\/strong>You could also use regular milk here, though evaporated milk will make the chowder a bit thicker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>(Optional) Oyster crackers:\u00a0<\/strong>Crunchy oyster crackers are a traditional topping for seafood chowder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the bacon<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bacon-for-Seafood-soup-TOHD24_25531_JackieAlpers_01.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Bacon For Seafood Soup Tohd24 25531 Jackiealpers 01\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jackie Alpers for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp.
