Fish Chowder....WOW!


Last night I made this fish chowder that was amazing!!!! It's from Allrecipes.com, and 149 people there gave it high ratings, so I thought it must be good, and boy was it! So if you want a chowder that doesn't taste like it came out of a Progresso can, than try this...I think you'll like it. Or if you've never been brave enough to have fish chowder, than you try this too! It's easy to make!

salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 cup clam juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
