Brimming with fish and potatoes and full of briny flavors, our chunky chowder is a showcase for the freshest fish available at the market. You could spoon this into small cups to serve as appetizer or side dish. Or make it the star of the meal and ladle it into larger bowls and pair it with a big garden salad. For a pop of color, sprinkle each serving with chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or green onion. Substitute orange roughy, red snapper, or tile fish for monkfish if you’d like.
