Prepare Casserole: In a large casserole dish, combine the cod fish fillets, diced new potatoes, and butter. Add the celery leaves, bay leaves, and cloves tied in a cheesecloth bag for easy removal later.
-
Season: Season the mixture with salt, white pepper, and minced garlic. Then, pour in the dry vermouth for added depth of flavor.
-
Bake: Cover the casserole dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender.
-
Add Stock: Once cooked, remove the casserole dish from the oven and discard the spice bag. Pour boiling fish stock over the mixture for an extra boost of seafood essence.
-
Prepare Half-and-Half: In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half over low heat, taking care not to let it boil.
-
Combine and Serve: Add the warmed half-and-half to the chowder mixture, stirring gently to combine. Sprinkle freshly chopped dill on top for a burst of freshness, and serve the Chicago Fish Chowder immediately.
This delightful chowder is best enjoyed hot, straight from the pot, accompanied by crusty bread or oyster crackers for a satisfying meal that captures the essence of a chilly Chicago day. Gather your loved ones and savor the flavors of this comforting dish together. 🍲✨
