Steps:

In a medium saucepan, salt water & boil potato chunks until fork tender. Drain & set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degree F. On a sheet pan or broiler pan liner- spray with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly spread the cod pieces and salt lightly. Bake in oven just until opaque. About 20 minutes. Just until about cooked through. Drain off juice.
In a large stock pot, over medium heat - melt butter and saute onions, until tender.
To the onions, add the milk, cream, and cream cheese. Simmer and stir as the cream cheese melts into the milks. Now, add the seasonings and bullion paste. Turn heat to low, and add the potatoes and corn. Once fish is opaque gently add it to the pot. Bring back to a full boil, then turn off heat and leave set for about 5 minutes. This is to finish cooking the fish.
Now, taste to see if needs more salt or pepper. Stir in the parsley and Sherry & ladle into individual bowls, can serve with rolls or oyster crackers.
This is one yummy chowder. Enjoy!
