Preparation:

Salt and pepper to taste Many recipes come out of the Caribbean that people either like or hate on first taste. This particular recipe is for a chowder that is excellent. Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Sauté' the onion and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add all of the other ingredients except the shrimp, clams and the fish. Simmer for 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender. Add the seafood and cook for 7 to 10 minutes at a low boil. NOTE: I have added on occasion 1/4 cup rice to this recipe and it is good that way too
