## Tips

- This is a gentle simmer job, don	 boil it hard or the milk can split
- Blending a portion makes it thick and creamy without needing loads of cream
- Cream is optional, milk is enough
- Use whatever fish you have - this is a ",measure with your heart", dinner
- If your chowder gets too thick, loosen with a splash of milk or water
