OMG... That looks soooo good! I do prefer New England chowder to Manhattan style.
I am drooling and starving. I will survive. Have chicken breasts in the oven. Not sure what to serve with it.
We usually eat baked cod or haddock once or twice a week. There's often a bit of the cooked fish left over and my wife freezes it. Then about once a month she'll make a low fat chowder using the leftover fish, some frozen scallops, frozen shrimp and skim milk (along with whatever other magical stuff she adds). Served with freshly baked whole wheat muffins. Certainly not traditional New England chowder, but it's low in calories, loaded with protein, and absolutely delicious!I should make it more often, but then I do love baked fish.
I wish I'd known you then.....(We lived in Maine for almost 25 years but never cared much for lobster. Mostly just a novelty we served when friends from away visited.)
