Smoked Haddock Chowder

This smoked haddock chowder is a rich and comforting dish that celebrates the deep, salty notes of traditional finnan haddie. A staple of coastal cooking, this high-protein soup uses a classic poaching method to create a flavourful fish stock, ensuring every spoonful is infused with smoky depth. The addition of leeks and fresh thyme provides a delicate savoury base that perfectly complements the golden potatoes and silky finish of double cream.

Perfect as a nourishing midweek meal or a sophisticated starter, this hearty chowder is both filling and wholesome. By mashing a portion of the potatoes directly into the broth, you achieve a thick, luxurious texture without the need for flour. Serve this homemade favourite in warmed bowls with a sprinkle of fresh chives and crisp crackers for a satisfying texture contrast.

Place haddock fillets in a large wide pot. Cover with 1200ml cold water. Place pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until fish is just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate; let cool. Discard skin and any scales; flake fish into large pieces. Set a strainer over a medium bowl; strain poaching liquid and reserve.

[To substitute smoked whitefish for haddock: Discard bones and skin from 675g smoked whitefish. Put fish, 2 thick-cut slices smoked bacon (about 60g ), and 950ml water in a large wide pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; remove fish with a slotted spoon after 5 minutes. Continue simmering liquid (with bacon) until reduced to 475ml , about 10 minutes. Strain liquid; discard solids. Add 725ml water; set aside.]

Melt butter in a large heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add leek and celery and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 15 minutes. Stir in dry mustard, then reserved poaching liquid, potatoes, and thyme sprigs. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.

With a slotted spoon, remove half of the cooked potatoes and place in a small bowl. Finely mash potatoes with a fork; return to chowder to thicken. Remove chowder from heat and stir in reserved fish, cream, and chives. Serve in warmed bowls with Common Crackers .
