What is better than making a tasty chowder? How about a very easy to make chowder using your fresh catch that will knock your socks off! You can use fish, clams, conch, or any seafood of your choice.
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Green Pepper
1 Large Onion
2 Peeled Carrots
5 Celery Sticks
4 Strips of Bacon
5 Medium Size Red Potatoes
32 Ounces Chicken Broth
56 Ounces Diced Tomatoes
(2) 6.5oz cans of minced clams
1 tbsp Dat'l Hook Ya Blackened Seasoning
3/4 Bottle of Dat’l Hook Ya (Add more as desired for increased heat and flavor)
***Optional- For over the top add any additional seafood like shrimp, lobster, scallops
Dice bacon into small pieces. Cook on medium heat with olive oil in a large pot stirring frequently. Get bacon to a nice light brown color about 8-10 min. Add in nicely diced green pepper, onion, carrots, celery and blackened seasoning. Cook until onion turns slightly clear and vegetables are tender but not soft, about 10 min. Add in undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, canned clams with juice, and 3/4 bottle of Dat’l Hook Ya Datil pepper sauce. Simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour. After the 1 hour simmer add potatoes that are diced to about 1/2 inch. Cook for 20 min at the same simmer covered. The potatoes at this point will still be semi hard. Add in your optional seafood and cook until seafood and potatoes are at consistency you prefer. Enjoy!
