Hearty fish-chowder menu

Ladle up big bowls of warming fish chowder, and revel in a homemade meal that's so cozy, the Polar Vortex will slip your mind. Whether you're inviting guests over, or it's strictly a family affair (after the holidays, a break from socializing may be just what the doctor ordered) your spoon will be hitting the bottom of the bowl before you know it. The good news? That means it's time for dessert!
Cocktail & appetizer
Sweet and spicy nuts and maple rye and ginger Set out a quick snack for early arrivals, stir a few cocktails, and let guests mingle while you add the finishing touches to dinner.
Soup
Smoked-trout chowder Preserved fish, like local smoked trout, gives this everyday fish chowder a satisfying boost of flavour.

Side
Cheesy bannock Soak up the flavour of your soup with this savoury bread. A northern staple, it is traditionally cooked over an open fire, provides body-fuelling carbs, requires few ingredients and tastes as comforting as it looks!

Dessert
Bushberry pudding cake Cold-hardy fruit, such as raspberries, adds a dose of antioxidants and gives this dessert a sweet-tart taste.
