For the Potato Bread

Method
- Sauté your potato, shallot, and celery in butter. Add in mustard, parsley, white pepper, nutmeg and salt. After 5-10 mins sprinkle with flour and stir well. Cook out the flour for a few minutes and add stock.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potato starts to soften. Then add in the milk, roughly chopped cod and smoked haddock with a few bay leaves. Poach for 5 mins and then finish the chowder with steamed mussels for another 5 mins. Add samphire and sea beet and serve with homemade potato bread.
- To make your potato bread start by boiling peeled and chopped potatoes until soft. Make the dough by mixing the cooled mashed potato, melted butter and flour in a bowl. Knead into a dough and add in spring onions. If required add a little more flour until the dough is less sticky.
- Then on a floured surface divide into six equal-sized balls. Using a rolling pin, roll into 0.5cm deep rounds. Cut into quarters and cook on a greased griddle with a little butter. Cook for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and cooked through.
