Traditional recipes are seasoned with black rum, and "sherry peppers sauce", a hot sauce made of pimentos marinated in sherry and spices. Locally manufactured "Outerbridge's Original Peppers Sauce" is one of Bermuda's few exports. It is said that Bermuda fish chowder must include Outerbridge's sauce. Black Seal Rum made by Bermudan distiller Gosling Brothers is also considered the traditional rum to flavour the soup.

Comparison with other chowders

Bermuda fish chowder is of a much lighter consistency than chowders that are thickened with milk or cream. It is sometimes compared with bouillabaisse.

History

It is believed that the recipe was developed by 17th century British colonizers. Sherry peppers sauce is also Bermudan tradition dating from that period. Called "peppers wine", it was used by sailors to make spoiled food more palatable.

TIME reported that there was "Bermuda fish chowder competition" in 2006 featuring celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain, Pino Maffeo and Michael Lomonaco.
