Salmon Chowder
Cream, potatoes, fennel, and just a splash of white wine make this simple salmon chowder something special.
Tips for Choosing Sustainable Seafood
Look for sustainably wild-caught and responsibly farmed fish and shellfish. The Marine Stewardship Council and Seafood Watch are both good resources that can help you make smart choices.
Many people are concerned about the accumulation of heavy metals, such as mercury, in seafood. Choosing smaller fish like sardines and anchovies is a great option. The NRDC also has excellent guidance on mercury levels in fish.
