Thai Coconut Curry Seafood Chowder

I'm waiting for the fog to lift around here. It's been hanging around for well over a week now. I can't find the BBQ through the fog.... In the meantime I've been having a little fun with some ethnic foods. I love seafood chowder and this dish was a refreshing variation. The Thai ingredients can be found at larger grocery stores. I used haddock but you can use any white fish and/or shrimp, scallops, mussels... you get the idea. This recipe is so quick and tasty that you'll turn to it again and again~

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 lb haddock fillets, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup snow peas, sliced

  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
