Chowder is a tradition in my family. My mother always made red clam chowder, known as Manhattan-Style Chowder. My mother-in-law prefers to make a creamy white chowder, known as New England Clam Chowder. My favorite is neither red nor white, but a clear chowder with lots of clams and tender potatoes cooked in a simple broth. But everyone loves this recipe for fish chowder because it is so easy to make.
