Servings: persons

4 slices thick cut bacon, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
3 -4 stalks celery, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 (8 ounce) bottles clam juice
2 cups water
1 lb firm white fish (like halibut)
1 lb fresh seafood (I prefer shrimp and scallops)
2 cups half-and-half (1 pint)
salt and black pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper
chopped fresh parsley

1
Saute bacon pieces in a large kettle or dutch oven until it starts to brown.
2
Add onion and celery, saute until soft & translucent.
3
Add garlic, bay leaf, thyme & sage. Stir frequently for about 1 minute.
4
Stir in flour and cook for another minute or two stirring constantly. Do not let flour burn!
5
Add water and clam juice. Bring to a boil and add potatoes. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
6
While cooking, wash and prepare seafood by cutting into bite size pieces. I usually cut fish into 1 inch cubes, and halve scallops and peel/devein shrimp.
7
When potatoes are done, add fish to stock mixture & simmer for five minutes. Add other seafood and cook for two more minutes.
8
Stir in half and half plus salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Heat through and it's ready to serve. Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley.

Enjoy!
