Notes

To enhance the flavor, use fresh seafood if possible, and consider adding a splash of white wine to the stock for depth. Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. The chowder can be thickened more by mashing some of the potatoes or adding more flour if desired. Make sure not to overcook the seafood to maintain its tender texture.
