I'm looking for a simple fish chowder recipe...does anybody have one that does not involve shell fish?

DH can't have shell fish, but it's cooling down here in SW Florida, and soup would be wonderful-but I want something different besides the time honored soups I have been making. It hit me that I have never made any kind of fish soup. Being from Louisiana, I have made seafood gumbo, etoufe etc, certainly fish soup made with some sort of mild fish exists...if anybody has a recipe they would be willing to share, I would appreciate it. Thanks

How about salmon stew? Just heat up a pot, add a little drained canned corn (to liking), a 15oz can of salmon (bones removed), ground pepper, 4 cups of milk and butter. Bring to a simmer and you're done! I made this video years ago. Excuse the clock, the lights were faulty and in person you couldn't see the time blinking, but it showed up on camera. http://youtu.be/TSNFnz6M_2c

Just find a recipe U like and eliminate/substitute the shell fish. Cooking is not a science. It's an art. Baking IS a science.

I am hoping to try this recipe this weekend. I am sure you can make substitutions.

Rollover, thank you! I will try one of these recipes-I just wish I could use clam juice. I have no problems with shell fish, but DH keeps kosher and has gout. I will use chicken broth instead. Thanks, Poodlepet

These all sound good and I would simply increase the amount of white fish replace the shell fish (including clams as you well know!)

I love Cioppino actually like the fish better than the shrimp, etc. As already suggested I would use any recipe you like and just switch fish for the shell fish!

You can use any chowder recipe and add a firm fish instead of shellfish. I love to cut up halibut or cod into chowder.
