Chowder is a creamy seafood soup cooked from a Clam and Milk. Willy sends the recipe once his friendship reaches three hearts, which makes it one of the first fishing recipes a farm can learn. It restores a large amount of energy and health for just two ingredients. Its Fishing buff is small but lasts a very long time, so one bowl covers a long session by the water. Willy likes it too, unlike most cooked dishes.
The in-game description reads: A perfect way to warm yourself after a cold night at sea.
Recipe
Willy mails the recipe after his friendship reaches three hearts. He sends two more fishing recipes later: Escargot at five hearts and Lobster Bisque at nine.
Cooking a Clam with Milk makes Chowder.
Clams come from the sea. A Crab Pot placed in the ocean catches them along with other shellfish, and the Crab Pot recipe unlocks at Fishing level 3. Clams can also be foraged from the sand at the Beach.
Milk comes from cows kept on the farm, so a farm with a Barn has everything except the Clam at home.
Like every dish, Chowder needs the kitchen in an upgraded farmhouse or a Cookout Kit. A Mystery Box can also contain a bowl.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Eating Chowder gives +1 Fishing for about seventeen minutes. It also restores a large amount of energy and health.
A single extra Fishing level is a modest boost. What sets Chowder apart is how long it lasts, since the buff runs longer than most meal buffs. Escargot and Dish O' The Sea give bigger Fishing boosts, but Dish O' The Sea fades much sooner.
The energy alone makes Chowder worth carrying. Two cheap ingredients restore as much energy as Crab Cakes, which need four.
Qi Seasoning makes a stronger bowl. A seasoned Chowder is gold quality. Its Fishing buff rises by one, the buff lasts half as long again, and the bowl restores 80 percent more energy and health.
Gifts
Chowder sells for a modest price. It is cooked for its energy and its long buff rather than for profit. Qi Seasoning raises its sale price by half.
Most villagers like Chowder, as they like most cooked dishes. The older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam like Chowder. The same goes for Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. The Dwarf, Sandy and the Wizard like it too, and so do the shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. The children Jas and Vincent like it as well.
Willy dislikes most cooked dishes but likes those made from seafood. Giving him back a bowl of the soup he taught is an easy way to keep his friendship growing.
Notes
In tailoring, Chowder in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the dyeable Fringed Vest.
Making Chowder once counts toward the cooking achievements. Those are Cook for ten different dishes, Sous Chef for twenty-five and Gourmet Chef for the complete set of recipes.
