Excellent with a few minor changes.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As always Emeril's recipes are wonderful. I cut it in half (since I'm the only one in the family to eat seafood), added... 1-1/2 tsp Old Bay (as others suggested), about 1/4 c of heavy cream, and some dill. The only seafood I had was frozen shrimp and scallops and canned crab. Tasted great and I can't wait for the leftovers.Read more

easy flavorful & hearty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

mmm - good! the only thing was it took longer than the listed time - also took someone else's advice & added some old bay to... the veg. Hard to believe something that cooks this quickly could be so flavorful! Read more

Easy & Tasty Chowder Recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

While this was tasty, I did wind up adding about a tablespoon of old bay seasoning to give it a little more flavor. It was... an easy recipe but it took about 90 minutes in total.Read more

Fabulous Chowder!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was delicious! I put 4 cups of seafood broth, one small bottle of clam juice and an extra cup od water +/-. I... also added a handful of uncooked arborio rice while simmering the broth, before putting in all the seafood. Once the rice was almost tender, I added the seafood, then cooked low for about 15-20 min. The arborio gave it a thick consistency. This recipe will go in my recipe box!!! Emeril you da man!!! Delish!Read more

good combination with saffron
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I combined the fish base from wolfgang pucks fish soup with the saffron onion, thyme, basil base. Then I followed the recipe... for the seafood chowder without the cayenne pepper (I didn't want to over power the saffron).Read more
