Seafood Chowder is a highly flavored Irish fish soup that is consumed in pubs or Irish homes. Very nourishing and particularly balanced, this soup is a traditional dish, often served in coastal villages in Ireland. Pubs offer a soup made with freshly caught fish of the day and serve the dish with a cold stout (Irish beer), butter, and Brown Bread, a type of Irish bread with a generous crumb, which is then dipped in the soup. The fish commonly used for Seafood Chowder are salmon, haddock, or cod, and are often garnished with mussels, shrimp, or other seafood highly appreciated by the Irish.
