Thick and rich, this haddock chowder recipe is a Maritime classic.

Ingredients
 4 tbsp butter
 1 medium onion, diced
 4 cups water
 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
 3 lbs fresh haddock fillets
 2 cups heavy cream
 2 tsp kosher salt
 ¼ tsp pepper
 ½ tsp parsley, finely chopped
Method
1

In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.

2

Pour the water into a medium pot and add the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3

Add the fish to the potato liquid and simmer until the fish just begins to flake, about 10 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and add it and the potatoes to the cooked onions in the larger pot. Do not stir.

4

Slowly add the potato/fish broth and the heavy cream to the onion/fish/potato mixture. Stir gently. Add the salt and pepper. Simmer gently over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot garnished with chopped parsley.
