i have ordered this product for the past 8 years, and it is without a doubt the best chowder of any type that i have ever tasted. it is also the easiest to prepare.

we drive for miles to a small shop on Virginia's eastern shore to buy the seabear chowder. it is really tasty, with plenty of salmon and other great ingredients. now that i have found it on Amazon, we will be ordering it on line (at a great price savings too)

It's a good item to have in the pantry for a rainy day.

I found this to be a great, quick meal. I grew up in a fishing town in Alaska and am always looking for good salmon. I love salmon and enjoy it in just about any form! The previous reviewer could have donated it to me! :) As I'm told, not everyone shares the love for salmon that I do because of its strong flavor. I say, more for me.

Actually, my expectations for this salmon chowder were low because I'm kind of a salmon snob and didnt expect a pouch to deliver much. I was pleasantly surprised that it was full of flavor and creamy.

If you are use to any ol' farmed Atlantic salmon, you may not share the same appreciation for pure wild Alaska salmon. Since this chowder is made with smoked salmon, the flavor is understandably more intense. If you're like me and hankerin' for a taste of home, you could do a lot worse. The pouches make it a convenient pantry staple when salmon care packages from home arent possible.

I have had two of the chowder packs so far and they are pretty good!!
I added a bit of rice to the second pack after heating it, and it added just the right touch!! I have not as yet had the salmon filet, but I'm looking forward to it!!

This "chowder" is simply dreadful and although I made an effort to eat it, eventually gave up and threw the first batch out. I am planning on donating the rest to a food bank, and feel mildly guilty subjecting anyone else to this slop. I am shocked that this is presented as something edible -- and it is expensive enough that the expectation of a good tasting soup with a noticeable amount of smoked salmon isn't unreasonable. There is precious little salmon -- it is mostly mystery fish chunks and a few potatoes. I used regular milk, not cream, in the amount stated on the packet and it was very watery with little substance. It was decidedly fishy in an extremely unpleasant way, and my husband and I both felt nauseous after consuming the small amount we ate before tossing it. Save your money.

Where do I start? This soup is HORRIFIC! I bought 4 pouches to send to my father for Christmas, but decided I had better sample 1 pouch prior to shipping to him (since I had never tried this product before). I love all of the ingredients it says is in this soup, so had high expectations of the flavor, consistency, etc. However, to say I was disappointed is an under-statement!!! The soup contained maybe 10 pieces of yucky-tasting potatoes (I hope that's what they were..hard to tell), and only a few shards of salmon, if that. The entire mixture had a "fishy" taste to it..not fresh, and not much like "salmon". It was watery, flavorless (except for the harsh "fishy" taste, already mentioned) and very difficult to eat. I had to throw out the entire pot.
