Even if you're not sitting on the pier, this Seaside Chowder will have you feeling the vibes of vacay, the ocean, relaxation, and coastal living.

Easy Seaside Chowder

Heat butter and oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add potatoes, corn, onions, tricolor peppers, and Old Bay seasoning. Cook and stir for 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture and stir to coat. Stir in chicken broth and milk. Bring to boiling. Add crabmeat and fish pieces. Simmer for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (145 degrees). Serve chowder topped with crackers, if desired.
