Bring to a gentle boil and turn the heat down low, simmering covered, for about 15 - 20 minutes, adding more water if necessary. this will give you a rich fish stock. 3. Measure out 2 cups of the fish stock, setting aside any remaining for future use. If you don't have quite enough stock, add water to the 2 cup mark and return it to the pot with the fish etc. 4. Add the Half & Half, stirring it in gently so you don't break up the fish to much. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Allow this mix to simmer another 15-20 minutes. 5. At the end of your cooking time, stir in the saffron, more may be added for a richer flavor. 6. NOTE: If you desire a thicker chowder, mix a flour and water paste and add to desired consistency. For a thinner chowder, add your leftover fish stock or water. 7. Serve hot along with chunks of crusty bread and plenty of butter! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
