Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder
Ingredients
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 7 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 pound salmon, cut into chunks
  • 1 pound cod, cut into chunks
  • 1 pound scallops
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 ounces cooked lobster meat, shredded
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained
  • 4 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, cut into chunks
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Fill a large pot approximately half full with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt; place it over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
Add sliced onions and chopped carrots; continue cooking until they begin to soften slightly, around 10 minutes.
3
Next, add diced potatoes; continue cooking until they become tender, taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Introduce a variety of seafood including salmon, cod, scallops, shrimp, lobster, and crab into the pot; cook over medium heat until the salmon and cod have become firm but retain a hint of translucency in their centers, roughly 10 minutes.
5
Remove half the water from the pot and add clams, a rich and creamy sauce made with heavy cream and half-and-half, and small pieces of butter; season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Cover the pot and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the salmon and cod are fully cooked and can be easily flaked with a fork, approximately 30 minutes.
