I would be interested to hear how it turned out
I have been working on a Chowder for sometime and find that balancing the oyster flavor with the thickness I desire difficult. I have been using oyster crackers crushed up to help thicken and like how red potatos disolve and soften. I also add celery.
Also, I prefer bacon over the salt pork.
The rest is about the same

HI,
I used bacon instead of salted pork. We really liked this chowder. Try it and tell us what you think.

My original recipe was too thick and my wife's was too thin--the one I posted is a combination that we find perfect for our taste. Let us know how yours turns out.
