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. Saute' the onion and garlic until the onions are transluscent. Add all of the other ingredients except the shrimp, clams and the fish. Simmer for 1 hour or until the veggetables are tender. Add the seafood and cook for 7 to 10 minutes at a low boil.

NOTE: I have added on occassion ¼ cup rice to this recipe and it is good that way too.

Serves 8 to 10.
