I've been craving seafood (or clam) chowder for over a week, so yesterday I made some using tilapia and crawfish tail meat. Well, not being able to use potatoes for a thickening agent, it was a bit runny. The flavor was okay (nothing like crawfish to kick up the ‘fish’ value of any flavor!), but it still seemed like it was missing something.
Does anyone have a good legal recipe for chowder (any kind) that actually gets thick and creamy?
Thank you!
