• 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1⁄4 cup of all-purpose flour or self-rising flour

• 1 1⁄2 cups of half-and-half
• Hickory liquid smoke 
• 1 -3 drop of Tabasco sauce, for flavour
• Kosher salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

NOTE: Prepare ingredients before starting! Experienced, or quick, cooks can ignore this advice. I’m neither experienced nor quick. If I don’t prepare the ingredients before starting the chowder, it’s a disaster.

Step 1: Take out a medium saucepan, and pour the whole bottled clam juice over high heat. Peel the potatoes and add in the saucepan to soften. Cover with a lid and simmer until the potatoes are tender. It won’t take more than 10 minutes. When done, remove from heat and set aside for further use. 

Step 2: In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat. Fragrant, right? 

Step 3: Then, add the chopped bacon for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bacon pieces begins to have brown color. 

Step 4: Now, add 2 cups of finely chopped yellow onions, 1 ¼ cups of finely chopped celery, minced garlic cloves, and bay leaf. Saute these vegetables for 6 minutes or until the veggies get soften. 

Step 5: Stir them in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, and continue cooking for 2 minutes. You must not brown the flour. 

Step 6: Slowly whisk in the reserved juice from clams, adding potato mixture, 1 ½ cups of half and half, hickory liquid smoke salt, and tabasco sauce. Stirring occasionally, keep the skipper cape cod in simmer to blend flavor. 

Step 7: Lastly, season it with kosher salt and black pepper as per taste. 

Skippers seafood & chowder can be enjoyed after 10 minutes of simmering. If desired to enjoy later, it can be sit on stove easily for hours after hours. 

Conclusion:

Fried chowder is something that after having, you will fill completely satisfied. As a side dish, this deserve an Oscar, if there would be any!
