Seafood Chowder is a soup based on seafood and seasoned vegetables. Very nourishing and particularly well-balanced, this soup is a traditional dish, often served in the coastal villages of Ireland.
Pubs offer a soup made with the day’s catch, and serve the dish with a cold stout (Irish beer), butter and Brown Bread, a type of Irish bread with a generous crumb, which is then dipped in the soup… Delicious!
The fish generally used for the Seafood Chowder are salmon, haddock or hake, and are often accompanied by mussels, shrimps or other seafood much appreciated by the Irish. The whole thing is then cooked in a base of potatoes, celery, tomato and mushrooms to make a nutritious and balanced dish, capable of stalling even the fussiest of eaters!
