Method
Step 1
Place fish, milk, stock, bay leaves and green section of the leek in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 mins or until fish is heated through. Use a slotted spoon to remove fish from poaching liquid, reserving liquid in pan. Cool, then remove bones and skin. Flake the fish. Strain liquid through a sieve into a heatproof bowl. Discard solids.
Step 2
Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the bacon and cook for 6 mins or until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate. Add celery and pale section of the leek to the pan and cook for 5 mins or until soft. Use a small serrated knife to cut down side of the corn to release the kernels. Add to saucepan with combined potato. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until well combined. Stir in the flour and poaching liquid. Cover and cook for 12-15 mins or until the potato is tender and the soup thickens slightly.
Step 3
Add 1/2 cup (125ml) cream to the pan with the fish. Cook for 2-3 mins or until heated through. Divide the chowder among serving bowls. Top with bacon and drizzle with remaining cream. Season with black pepper.
