What is "fish chowder"?

Fish chowder is a popular type of chowder that is often associated with coastal regions and maritime cuisine. The soup is typically made with a variety of fish, such as cod, haddock, or halibut, which are simmered together with diced potatoes, onions, and sometimes other vegetables such as celery or carrots. The broth is often made with milk or cream, which gives it a rich and creamy texture, and it is seasoned with herbs and spices such as thyme, bay leaves, or black pepper, which add to its depth of flavor. Fish chowder may also include other ingredients such as bacon or corn, depending on the recipe. The soup is often served hot with a slice of fresh bread or a cracker.
