Chowder recipes please.

[styley]

I really enjoy chowder and was looking for a few different ways of making it. The only time I've made it myself I used flour as a base, I cannot even remember the exact procedure. Anywho, last week I ordered fish pie in a restaurant and what I got was basically a chowder with a lump of mash in it and a puff pastry on top. I was a bit miffed when I saw it but it was actually pretty delicious so I'm gonna make it myself. Thanks for any suggestions.
