ok, I'm not wealthy enough to make a lobster chowder, so I followed the recipe but omitted the lobster and I used sausage...I've made it with the bacon and the sausage, or just with sausage, and its awesome either way! I did omit the crab boil seasoning, but other than that, I didn't change the recipe. It was easy, and fast if you used a food processor to do your chopping, awesome!

The recipe combines great ingredients abd the final taste is terrific.
At our house, we made this recipe exactly as written the first time. The second time, we followed exact directions except substituted large shrimp for the lobster. The third time, again specific but replaced the lobster with stone crab.
For what this is worth...the recipe for corn and seafood chowder is a delicious flavor and wonderful texture.
Thanks Emeril.
