This Canadian Seafood Chowder is perfect for a cold winter day. Canada is blessed with an abundance of great seafood. It is hearty and can be made with an endless variety of fish and shell fish. I made this one with a seafood blend that I found in season at my local market. This could be served on its own with a nice French baguette and would make a wonderful lunch. Enjoy!
