Cut the fish into squares, and place the fish head and the bones in a deep pan. Then add in cold water and the bay leaf and the celery. Simmer this for about fifteen minutes and then strain. Render the fat from the salt pork and then remove the cracklings. Add the onions to the fat. Cook the onions until they are soft and golden. Then add the flour and blend. Then add in the potatoes and the bouillon. Simmer this for about fifteen minutes and then add the fish that you have cut. Simmer it all until the fish is done, which is about ten minutes. Then add the milk and bring it all to a boil. Season to your preference and you are ready to serve!
