APPLEWOOD SMOKED COD & POTATO CHOWDER

Smoked cod is a versatile fish that can be used in many different ways. One of the best ways to incorporate smoked cod is to infuse it with milk and aromatics for the base of a chowder. 

Poaching Smoked Cod

This method releases the deep applewood smoke flavor that’s perfect for chowder. To infuse the milk with smoky cod and aromatics, place the cod in a pot of milk and add some aromatics like garlic, onion, and herbs. 

Cook the cod over low heat until it is cooked through. Then break the cod apart in the milk to create the perfect base for your chowder. The result will be a delightfully delicious and smoky chowder.

What potato should I use in smoked cod chowder?

When choosing potatoes for chowder, there are a few factors to consider. 

First, you’ll want to decide what type of potato will best suit the dish. For creamier chowder, Russet potatoes are a good choice. For a more substantial soup, Yukon Gold potatoes will add some heft. 

Second, you’ll want to think about how you want the potatoes to taste. Do you want them to be the chowder’s star or a supporting player? If you want the potatoes to be front and center, roasting them before adding them to the soup will bring out their natural sweetness.
