Smoked Salmon And Smoked Oyster Chowder

Guests at the Wednesday Community Meal today were treated to steaming hot bowls of smoked salmon and smoked oyster chowder courtesy of Fishpeople Seafood and volunteer Martha who arranged the donation and made and served the chowder.

It was an unusually cool June day today in Portland so the timing of the special treat was perfect.

Martha even added extra smoked salmon and diced golden potatoes to the chowder which really took it over the top and made our guests so happy. We kept hearing from the servers in the dining room how everyone loved the chowder. Dedicated volunteer Dean even told me one guest was absolutely convinced it was lobster bisque.

It's such a pleasure being able to treat our guests. Thank you Martha!

We served 259 meals today and in addition to the chowder served homemade enchilada casserole, roasted tomatoes, salad and ice cream for dessert.
