It’s Chowder Month at Taste of Nova Scotia, so get ready, because we’re rounding-up some of our favourite seafood chowder recipes for you. Some recipes are packed with lobster while others feature an array of seafoods, but the one thing they have in common is they’re all delicious.  Keep scrolling for the ultimate chowder side-kick recipe – Buttermilk Biscuits.

1. Mateus Bistro Seafood Chowder

This Saltscapes 2017 Chowder Cook-Off winner from chef Matt Krizan of Mateus Bistro features a simple, light broth made of just local mussels and haddock. With chef Matt’s Eastern Europe influence, this versatile seafood chowder recipe is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

2. Lane’s Privateer Inn Creamy Seafood Chowder

This creamy seafood chowder from Lane’s Privateer Inn has been on their menu since 1962. While the chowder has evolved over the years, what makes it stand out from the crowd is that there’s no flour in the recipe. The potatoes act as a natural thickener. Featuring haddock, scallops and lobster, even those sensitive to gluten will be licking the bowl clean.
