Instructions

Start by heating some oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté until they become tender and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Pour in the fish or vegetable broth and water, followed by the bay leaf, dried thyme, hot sauce (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Give it a good stir.
Gently place the fish fillets into the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. If needed, you can cut them into smaller pieces.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes apart.
Remove the fish fillets from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly.
Using a blender or immersion blender, carefully puree about half of the soup to create a thicker consistency. You can adjust the amount of pureed soup to your liking.
Shred the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces and return them to the pot.
Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add some sliced hot peppers for an extra kick.
Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the Bermuda fish chowder hot, garnished with fresh parsley. It pairs perfectly with a slice of warm crusty bread.
