I've been on a serious New England seafood kick recently.  Had some broiled flat fish and clam chowder the other weekend that blew my mind.  I haven't really cooked that style before, but I'd love to give it a try.  Any of you cook this style of food often?  If so, got any cookbook recommendations or recipes you'd like to share?

    For an old time version of the recipes - This one: http://www.amazon.com/Seafood-Down-Recipes-Marjorie-Standish/dp/0892724234/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1421280238&sr=8-4&keywords=marjorie+standish+cookbook Marjorie Standish wrote a cooking column called Cooking Downeast carried by newspapers in Maine for many years, her cookbooks are authentic and reliable. This is the seafood cookbook, but all her books are great. For a more modern take http://www.amazon.com/England-Seafood-Cookbook-Boston-Globe/dp/1572438959/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1421280932&sr=8-14&keywords=New+England+cooking This is the Boston Globe version

    I've owned the first two for quite some time and they're great resources for New England Seafood. Legal Seafood is, well, Legal Seafood. Jasper White may not be well known nationally but he's a bit of an institution in the Boston area. The Jeremy Sewall book is new in the last year and while I own it I haven't cooked from it yet. It has gotten very good reviews though.

    I second the Jasper White rec - The Summer Shack Cookbook is supposed to be excellent as well.

    take the creole seasoning out and add scollops and lobster to this recipe and you could easily win a seafood chowder contest up here in new england
     

    5 slices bacon
    1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
    1/2 cup chopped celery
    2 teaspoons minced garlic

    1/3 cup white wine
    1 teaspoon conac
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    3 cups fresh corn kernels
    4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
    1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
    1/2 cup butter
    1 1/2 tablespoon Creole seasoning
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    3 cups heavy cream

    1 cup half-and-half cream
    1 pound peeled and deveined small shrimp
    1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed



    Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until evenly browned. Remove the bacon, and reserve the grease. Allow the bacon to cool, then crumble, and set aside with the grease.
    Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Pour in the white wine and brandy, and bring to a simmer. Season with black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the corn and potatoes, then pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
    While the soup is simmering, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has turned the color of peanut butter to make a roux.
    Stir the roux into the soup, and pour in the heavy cream, half-and-half cream, reserved bacon and grease, and shrimp. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent in the center, the potatoes are tender, and the soup has thickened, about 15 minutes. add the creole seasoning, and stir in the crab meat.
