The History of Seafood Chowder:
Seafood chowder has a long and fascinating history, rooted in the coastal communities of North America. Dating back to the early days of European settlers, chowder was born out of a fusion of Indigenous cooking techniques and traditional European recipes. The hearty combination of fresh seafood, potatoes, vegetables, and creamy broth made it an instant favourite among fishermen and locals alike. Over the years, seafood chowder has evolved, with each region adding its unique twist to this beloved dish.
