Prep: Peel the onions and chopped into a ¼ inch dice. Chop the celery into similar-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and chop them in ¼ inch cubes. Then soak the potatoes in a bowl of water until ready to use. This keeps the potatoes from browning! Chop the fresh or frozen cod into ¼ inch cubes.
Set a large 6 to 8-quart pot over medium heat. Add the butter and flour to the pot. Whisk as the butter melts to create a foamy roux for thickening. Whisk the roux for 2 to 3 minutes until it reaches a golden color.
Stir in the chopped onions, celery, and garlic. Stir and sauté for 2-3 minutes, then drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Stir and sauté the vegetables for another 8-10 minutes to soften the aromatics and partially cook the potatoes. Make sure to stir every 2-3 minutes so the vegetables do not brown on the bottom.

We are using cod for this recipe, because it is a white mild flaky fish that most people can find. However, feel free to use any white flaky fish that is available in your area!
Just be sure to dice all the vegetables and the fish into small uniform ¼ inch pieces so you can get a little bit of everything in each spoonful.
Let the chowder cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in short bursts in a microwave; you might want to add a splash or two of cream or milk if the soup is a bit too thick.
