2 In a heavy-bottomed large saucepan or stockpot over low to medium heat, brown the bacon. Add the diced onions and saute until translucent. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, stirring often to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking. Add the bottled clam juice and simmer for a few minutes.

3 About 15 minutes before serving, add the cream, milk, and fish pieces to the hot broth; heat through to scalding, but do NOT boil. Stir gently so as not to break up the fish too much. Add the salt, pepper, and the chopped fresh herbs, to taste.
