chowder

Quick and easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and simple enough to prepare in any seagoing galley, chowder has been a mainstay in sailor’s diets for centuries. Indeed, references to hearty, healthy chowders date back to the 16th century in both France and Britain.

During the rainy season, when we were just starting The Boat Guy, we invaded Pike Place Market and one of my favorite Lake Union boating destinations, Duke’s Chowder House, to find out why they call chowder, “chowder.”
