Author Notes
A twist on the classic New England clam chowder, this recipe is a great source for omega-3 fatty acids. It is easy to make. Great for warming up on a cold winter day! I prefer VitalChoice canned Smoked Sockeye Salmon. It comes boneless and skinless. VitalChoice uses sustainable fishing methods. —BoulderFoodie
