==Types== Chowder is a soup with cream or milk mixed with ingredients such as potatoes, sweet corn, smoked haddock, clams and prawns, etc. Some cream-style chowders do not use cream, and are instead prepared using milk and a [[roux]] to thicken them. Some of the popular variations are clam chowder and potatoes; seafood chowder; spiced haddock chowder; Irish fish chowder with soda bread; crayfish chowder; clam chowder with cod; British seaside chowder with saffron; thick smoked-haddock chowder; Raymond Blanc's light shellfish chowder; New England–style clam chowder traditionally served with oyster crackers; smoked haddock chowder with leeks and sweetcorn; clam, broad bean and salami chowder; and many more.<ref name= Torode>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/chowder |access-date=18 January 2016 |title=Chowder recipes |publisher=BBC}}</ref> Chowder can be a [[comfort food]],<ref name="TST-1"/><ref name="Tilley 2011"/> especially during the winter months.<ref name="Publishing 2011 p. 287">{{cite book |title=Ultimate Food Journeys: The World's Best Dishes and Where to Eat Them |publisher=DK Publishing |year=2011 |isbn=978-0-7566-9588-0 |chapter=Creamy Chowder in Boston |chapter-url= https://books.google.com/books?id=FDAt0uVU7zYC&pg=PA287 | page=287}}</ref> ===Bermuda fish=== {{main|Bermuda fish chowder}} [[File:Bermuda Fish Chowder (3825239570).jpg|thumb|[[Bermuda fish chowder]]]] Considered a [[national dish]] of [[Bermuda]],<ref name="Alper 2008 p. 284"/> the primary ingredients in Bermuda fish chowder include fish, tomato, and onion that is [[seasoning|seasoned]] with [[Dark rum|black rum]] and a [[sherry]] pepper sauce.
