Happy Tuesday! Sometimes you just need that comfort meal, a type of meal that is usually a little hard to "paleotize". Today, I bring you Paleo Fish (or Clam) chowder. Being in MA, I have a high standard on how we like our Chowda'. I did bring this home to the family, and they all LOVED it. (Which is HUGE. They are a tough crowd to please!)
I have been wanting to try something like this for a while, but honestly, didn't think it would go as well as it did! I was inspired when Joe went fishing with a few buddies and brought home some delicious fish! He caught Sea Bass and Striper. Both a white fish, Sea Bass is a little sweeter, but both versatile. See the picture? Thats happy fisherman Joe :)

Paleo Fish Chowda

- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1 White Onion, diced
- A few Slices of bacon (uncooked) Chopped (I used 4)
- 1 Medium Sweet Potato, diced
- 2 Stalks of Celery, Diced
- A few Cloves of Garlic, Minced
- 1 Pint of Chicken Stock (You can use a can, but homemade is best!)
- 2 Cans of Full Fat Coconut Milk
- A Bay Leaf
- Few Springs of Thyme
- Parsley
- Fresh Ground Pepper
- Sea Salt
- Approx 1lb of Fish/Seafood of your choice (We used the Sea Bass, but would be good with clams, haddock, cod, shrimp, anything that doesn't have an over powering flavor!)
- First melt the coconut oil and sauté the onions until nearly translucent. Then add in the pieces of uncooked bacon. Stir until its cooked thoroughly.
- Add in the garlic and keep stirring
- Pour in the chicken stock and add in the sweet potatoes, celery, bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft
- Add in some parsley, Salt, pepper, and Coconut Milk. Give it a quick stir, then add the chopped fish/seafood. Cook for about 10-15 more minutes (cook time may depend on your choice of fish! Make sure that its cooked all the way!)
- Ready to Serve! Sprinkle a little more ground black pepper and parsley on the top and enjoy!
