Halibut Chowder

This is such a wonderful chowder although it is definitely not heart healthy. I got this recipe from a dear friend of mine MJ. She's a fabulous cook. She moved to California from Anchorage several years ago. I don't see her as often as I would like. This recipe is so easy even a lazy cook like I can make it.
