What Bermuda soup is made with fish stock, tomatoes, black rum, and sherry peppers?

The Bermuda soup made with fish stock, tomatoes, black rum, and sherry peppers is Bermuda fish chowder.

Bermuda fish chowder is a thick, tomato-based soup traditionally prepared with fish stock, fish, vegetables, and local seasonings. Black rum and sherry pepper sauce are signature additions that give the soup its distinctive depth and heat.

The recipe reflects Bermuda’s Atlantic island setting and its long maritime food tradition. Fish provides the central protein, while tomatoes and spices create a richer profile than a clear Caribbean fish broth.

The dish is often confused with conch chowder from the Bahamas or turtle soup from the Cayman Islands. Those soups use different defining ingredients. Bermuda fish chowder’s most recognizable identity comes from its tomato base and the combination of black rum with sherry peppers.
