my name is takemore mukazika.de cuisine at hamilton princess and beach club in bermuda. 0k, today i'm going to make bermuda fish chowder, a very famous local dish. it originated during the 17th century, with the first settlers in bermuda. at that time, there was not a lot of refrigeration or any way of keeping food fresh for a long time, so to preserve their fish that they used to bring on the island they had to use rum and sherry peppers to make fish chowder. there are quite a few vegetables that go into the chowder. peppers, some carrots, some ginger and don't forget to put celery. and they have to be all finely chopped. so basically you have to have onion, garlic. the best onion to use is the bermuda red onion, which is locally produced and sweeter than regular white onion. you start by sautee—ing all of the vegetables you have. the onion first until it is translucent, then add all of the other vegetables. then you add your rum. so you need to cook off the alcohol. the rum just puts the flavour in the fish dish
