Default Fish Chowder ?

Not looking for cioppino; I'm tomatoed out. Looking for a New England sort
of fish chowder. The fish will be the 1/2 lb. of already grilled shark
steak I have in my freezer; nice firm fish so it should hold up well.

This is not for tonight so no rush in replies. I've done some searching and
found this which looks fairly promising. I think I'd throw some dill weed
in it. Whatcha think?

Fish Chowder

1/2 lb. salt pork, chopped and browned (save drippings)
3 onions, diced
4 large potatoes, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
4 lb. haddock, cut in small pieces
6 c. boiling water
1 c. milk
1 c. cream
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. butter

Remove salt pork and brown onions in drippings. Add the chopped salt pork,
onions, and drippings to a deep kettle; add potatoes, boiling water, and
cook for 5 minutes. Add fish [NOTE: my fish is already cooked so I'd add it
at the last] and simmer until potatoes are soft. Add milk, cream, salt,
pepper, [dill weed?] and parsley. Melt butter and add slowly until chowder
starts to thicken. Cook about 5 minutes longer and serve. Serves 8 as a main
dish.
