  • The cabin smelled like paradise after stewing this 200 year old recipe for chowder! In America chowder can be traced back to New England in the 18th century. There it became an important part of local diet and culture. Still today clam and fish chowders are taken very seriously by those living among fishing communities. This is an early, American published, recipe for chowder that comes from 1829 (Boston). However, I've seen American published recipes for fish chowder going back to even the 1740s. Let's make it and experience a flavor that those before us knew all too well.

    It never ceases to amaze me how Justine knows how much coals, how to adjust fire, and all that cooking magic. I have a feeling if I did it, it would all either be burned or raw with no in between.

    Sorry you all in the video I said, "oysters" but in reality I used clams. Please use clams😂. Why did I do that.
    For those of you who want to get your fish on tonight I've translated the original recipe into modern instructions below. You can find an image of the original, published in 1829 in "The Frugal Housewife" at 7:45 .
    If you don't care much for seafood cough Ron consider making this at home by removing the seafood and buffing up the bacon. It will still be delicious! The cabin smelled amazing while this was stewing away! There were strong notes of lemon, tomato and bacon.
    4 pounds of fish (I used cod as other chowder recipes of this period explicitly called for it)
    0.5 cups of diced clam meat
    1/3 pound of bacon
    6 saltine crackers
    1 medium sized onion
    3 medium sized potatoes
    1 lemon
    A good dash of tomato ketchup
    1 cup of beer
    3 tablespoons of flour
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Water, enough to boil it up
    Cut your bacon however you desire and cook in a pot till browned. Once browned remove from your pot. Now in this same pot along with the bacon grease lay down half of your fish, first cut into strips. Put in half of your clam meat. Then put in a layer of 3 crushed crackers, half of your diced onions, potatoes and cooked bacon. Over it all sprinkle salt and pepper. Now start this allover again and form another layer by placing down the rest of your fish, clams, crushed crackers, onions, potatoes and bacon followed by another sprinkle of salt & pepper. Over it all pour in some ketchup and a lemon cut into quarters. Now pour in a cup of beer, flour and finally add enough water just to reach the top of your solids. Cover well and bring to a simmer. Once simmering start your timer and cook on low heat for 40 minutes, not stirring once.

      I bet this would make a good shrimp chowder, too. I am going to try this with a mild beer and flour like the original recipe called for. I can imagine this being cooked in the captain’s mess with any seafood they had access to, however, I’m trying to figure how they got clams inland without them going bad… cod was salted but clams, how did they preserve them? In 1870 there was a race by steamboats that took the winner three days, but that was a race…

    Growing up Catholic in coastal New England, this was a usual regular Friday dinner: in Winter months, cream was added before serving to add some heft to the stew/soup. Except, we got chopped clams added to ours instead of oysters. None of us kids would have eaten oysters! Loved everything about this post. ❤
