The following recipe is courtesy Emeril Lagasse - The Essence of Emeril. I have been making my own fish chowder in this same manner for over 40 years and I can only add this is an excellent recipe, highly rated and reminiscent of the way in which it is made in New England but then Emeril does hale from Fall River, Massachusetts. I hope you will enjoy this comforting chowdah. NOTE: Cook time and prep times are approximate.

- Add the white wine and whisk to combine.
- Add the fish broth, bay leaf and potatoes and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
