Add the white wine and allow the liquid to reduce by half.Add the clam juice next as well as the potatoes and half and half. Add in all the seasonings and spices except for the fresh parsley.
Bring to a slow boil then reduce the heat to low heat and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Add in the cooked fish and corn kernels and simmer for an additional five minutes.
If the fish is not yet cooked, add it along with the corn and allow it to cook for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
Toss in the fresh parsley and serve with a shake of Tabasco or Cholula hot sauce. Store the remaining chowder in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
