Great authentic tasting Bermudian Fish Chowder! I used 2 tsp. red pepper flakes instead of the 1 Tbsp. and it was STILL too spicy (I didn't even bother with the sherry peppers, so I suggest 1 tsp. instead. Used 3 large carrots instead of 1, and 1-1/2 lbs. of Grouper... better amount fish in final product! Used 2 cups of tomato juice, 2 cups of fish stock AND 1 cup water. The rum is a must! Now I consider this recipe perfect... just like at the Hog Penny!

We absolutely loved it. I substituted cod and ocean perch for grouper (easier for me to get in the great white north, and they held up nicely. We also used Myer's and regular sherry.

the store didnt have grouper, so I used catfish instead hoping that it would'nt fall apart... bad idea. the flavor was great, but the broken fish gave a strange texture... stick to grouper.
