Down East Fish Chowder image

Take a taste of this chowder, close your eyes and you will smell the shore of Maine even if you are in America's Heartland. If using dried salt codfish, you'll need to soak it overnight in several changes of water. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
