Ingredients

1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (cod or haddock), cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups (500ml) fish stock or vegetable broth

1 large onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 cup (240ml) whole milk

1 cup (150g) frozen corn (or fresh sweet corn when in season)

1 cup (150g) carrots, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).

Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes and carrots, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the vegetables to absorb the flavors from the onion and garlic.

Simmer it Down: Pour in the fish stock (or vegetable broth) and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.

Creamy Goodness: Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk, mixing well. Return to a low simmer and allow the chowder to heat gently for another 5 minutes.

Fish it Out: Carefully add the fish pieces and frozen corn to the pot. Stir gently to combine and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Season to Perfection: Add the chopped dill, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

Serve with Style: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Enjoy: Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping and savor the rich, creamy flavors of the ocean!
