Ingredients
- two pounds of the prepared fish
- two ounces of butter
- one pint of oysters
- one gill of cream
- one gill of water
- one tablespoonful of salt
- a pound of crackers
- one sliced onion
Directions
Take the shoulder of a large cod, or good-sized haddock. Clean well and cut in uniform pieces, two pounds of the prepared fish, half a pound of crackers, two ounces of butter, one pint of oysters or clams, one gill of cream, one gill of water, one sliced onion, one tablespoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful each of black pepper and mace. Put the water in a saucepan or clean iron pot ; put in the onion ; lay in half of the fish, skin side down ; sprinkle over it half the salt, pepper, etc. ; then put in half the oysters or clams; cover them with half the butter, in small lumps, and half the crackers ; then the rest of the fish, oysters, season- ing, butter and crackers ; pour the cream over the top, having first boiled it. If the oysters or clams have much liquor, the water will not be required ; if the chowder is found too dry a little more water may be added. Cover close and stew half an hour. Serve on a platter. Milk may be used instead of cream. Pork or bacon cut in small pieces gives it a fine flavor. This dish differs from the New England chowder in being eaten with a fork from a dinner plate instead of with a spoon from a soup plate.
