1 Place a pot over medium heat, and cook bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside. Leave 1 to 2 teaspoons drippings in the pot.
2 Add onion and celery to the pot; sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3 Add potatoes, stock, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook at a gentle simmer until potatoes are nearly tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in cream.
4 Add the frozen mahi-mahi chunks directly into the hot chowder. Simmer uncovered until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
5 Remove bay leaf. Stir in bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
