"Entered here for play in Culinary Quest #4 - Wales Region. This recipe is the finale of my goal to find as many Welsh recipes that celebrated their wealth of crab & their passion for it. I haven't tried this recipe, but see it as ideal for a starter course & esp so when served w/garlic buttered baguette bread or rolls. In just 20 min, this creamy restaurant-style crab bisque (finished off w/real dry sherry) will transport you to Welsh crab country right in your own kitchen & to the delight of your friends. ENJOY!"

I love seafood and the chowders, this came together to make for a good seafood chowder for a light evening meal. I could only find an 8 ounce bottle of clam juice so next time around will assure to make a pot of my clam chowder at the same time. I didn't have the dry sherry which saw me sub equal potions of cooking sherry and dry white wine which I thought worked well but do now have sherry on my shop list.
