Clawfish chowder represents a variety of chowder prepared by the Jedi Master and culinary expert, Porter Engle, in the era known as the High Republic Era. At the time of the Republic Fair, which took place on the Outer Rim world of Valo in 231 BBY, Engle made a cutting statement directed towards Jedi Padawan Bell Zettifar regarding his believed to be deceased Master, Loden Greatstorm. Jedi Knight Nib Assek voiced her disapproval of this comment, expressing her wish that his culinary abilities with clawfish chowder surpassed his capacity for empathy.
The 2021 novel titled The High Republic: The Rising Storm, penned by Cavan Scott, featured the mention of clawfish chowder. This novel formed part of Phase I of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia initiative.
