List of Ingredients




1 lb. smoked sausage

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

4 large potatoes, diced

2 lbs. coarsely cut shrimp

1 lb. crabmeat

2 lbs. coarsely chopped fish filets

1 tsp. salt

4 cups milk

2 cups water plus some for boiling

2 cups half-and-half

1 tsp. celery salt

1/2 tsp. Zatarin's liquid crab boil

4 hard boiled eggs

1/2 tsp. parsley

Recipe



Before you start preparing the rest of the ingredients, boil the sausage in a small amount of water for about 4 minutes, drain off the water and let the sausage cool. Then cut it up really fine by hand or run it through a food processor. Set aside. In a saucepan - you'll need a large one - melt the butter and saute the onions, potatoes, shrimp and crabmeat. This will take about 4 minutes; all you want to do is heat everything up. Then add the cut-up fish and stir it around until it turns white. As it cooks, sprinkle in the salt. At this point turn up the heat to medium-high and pour in the milk, water and cream. Stir constantly and make sure the liquid just bubbles; it really shouldn't boil. When it's hot and steamy, stir in the celery salt, crab boil and the chopped sausage. Then reduce the heat so it just stays hot. Finally, chop up the hard-boiled eggs, add them to the chowder along with the parsley and cook the dish on low for about 15 minutes. The flavor is distinctive, full-bodied and rich.
