2Add half a cup of dry white wine, turn heat up, reduce to about half.
3Add 1 medium potato, chopped up, clams, corn, thyme, salt, and pepper. Liquid should just cover potatoes, if not, add water. Cook on medium 10-15 min or until potatoes are almost done.

5Add fish and steaming half-and-half. Cook on low heat 10 minutes.
