Steps

  1. ### How to Make Traditional Bermuda Fish Chowder: A Recipe from The Reefs Southampton, Bermuda
  2. The Reefs in Southampton, Bermuda is famous for its delicious fish chowder, which has been a beloved dish among locals and tourists alike. Here’s how you can recreate this tasty seafood stew at home:
  3. #### Ingredients:
  4. - 2 pounds of fresh fish, such as bonito or mahimahi (cut into chunks)
  5. - 1 large onion, finely chopped
  6. - 3 cloves garlic, minced
  7. - 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  8. - 2 stalks celery, sliced
  9. - 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  10. - 4 cups of fish stock
  11. - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  12. - 1 bay leaf
  13. - 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh)
  14. - Salt and black pepper to taste
  15. - 1 cup heavy cream
  16. - Fresh parsley for garnish
  17. #### Equipment:
  18. - Large pot or Dutch oven
  19. - Knife and cutting board
  20. - Measuring cups and spoons
  21. - Wooden spoon or spatula
  22. ### Step-by-Step Instructions:
  23. #### Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
  24. Start by washing the fish under cold running water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, dice the carrots and celery, and slice the red bell pepper. This step ensures that your ingredients are ready for cooking.
  25. #### Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
  26. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, sliced celery, and red bell pepper. SautΓ© these vegetables until they become tender and lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes).
  27. #### Step 3: Add Fish and Seasonings
  28. Add the fish chunks to the pot and stir gently. Pour in the fish stock, making sure it covers the fish completely. Stir in the bay leaf and dried thyme, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  29. #### Step 4: Simmer the Chowder
  30. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat if necessary to maintain a low boil without letting it bubble vigorously. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked through and tender.
  31. #### Step 5: Blend with Cream
  32. Once the chowder has thickened slightly, remove one-third of the liquid from the pot using a ladle, and blend it in a blender or use an immersion blender directly into the pot. This step makes the chowder smoother but still creamy. Return all to the pot and stir until well combined.
  33. #### Step 6: Add Cream
  34. Pour in the heavy cream, ensuring you mix thoroughly so that no lumps form. Let the mixture heat up again, but do not boil or it will curdle the cream.
  35. #### Step 7: Serve
  36. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping, if desired.
  37. ### Tips:
  38. - For a richer flavor, use homemade fish stock.
  39. - Ensure the fish is cut to bite-sized pieces so it cooks evenly.
  40. - Adjust seasoning based on the saltiness of your fish and personal preference.
  41. - Enjoy this dish as part of a Bermuda-themed meal or any casual gathering!
