We all know that the best cookin’ comes after a long, dusty drive down the backroads. They really know how to do it way out there in the sticks! Life is slower so there’s plenty of time to perfect each dish they make. Take Country Fish Chowder, for example. They use their catch of the day to make this thick, creamy, savory clam chowder. The good news is, now you can, too! (And you don’t have to worry about going to the car wash after.) Country Fish Chowder brings good, comfort, Southern cookin’ right to your table!
