    I love Manhattan style chowder but found myself w/o fish stock so I tried this. Too much tomato which overwhelmed the fish. It turned out more like a spaghetti sauce than a chowfer.

    Excellent chowder added only carrots to it enjoyed it very much. How about adding cheese tortelli might try that.

    I followed the recipe pretty much to a tee but didn't have enough halibut so I added some shrimp. Very good!

    My husband and I enjoyed this meal immensely. I used talapia and added several fresh vegetables that I had on hand. Very good.

    I absolutely loved this! Made a couple minor changes - halved the recipe as I only had about a pound of halibut. I had no apple juice so used water then added a couple chopped carrots for sweetness to offset the acidity of the tomatoes. I used spicy V8 instead of plain tomato juice and - Read more ...

    I had a party of 8 for dinner so I used about 4 pounds of halibut and added a pound of peeled prawns. Everyone raved about it but I thought the sauce overpowered the flavour of the halibut. I will make it again though.

    This chowder is the BEST! My husband and I went to Alaska fishing a couple years ago and we brought a LOT of Halibut home with us. We got tired of most of the ways I fixed it until I found this recipe online. It has been a really big hit with everyone that tastes - Read more ...
