Tomato Fish Chowder

Are you a lover of fish and seafood recipes? Do you revel in the taste of fish? If your answer is “yes”, this recipe is for you! Filled with halibut, salmon, shrimp and scallops, this tomato-based chowder will satisfy your seafood craving and have you filled up on those Omega 3s.

If you live near the coast, check out your local fish market or meat counter for fresh seafood. Fish (and most perishable food) tastes better fresh. When comparing the nutrition benefits of fresh vs. farmed fish, remember this: fresh fish contains higher levels of the Omega-3s, compared to farmed fish. Fresh fish also has lower levels of Omega-6s, which most of us get too many of, anyway.

Serve this chowder with a baked sweet potato or roasted veggies for a nutrient-packed meal. Or, pack this chowder to go for a complete lunch.
