Sea Bass Chowder image

You can substitute other ocean fish, such as red snapper, sole, cod or haddock. Back in the old days, the recipe called for 1 Tbsp salt, but I've reduced it to 1 tsp here and would use even less if making it just for myself. Some may like this better without the cloves; in that case, omit the cloves.
