Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat with a turn of the pan of canola oil. Add bacon and crisp for 2-3 minutes. Add celery, onions, garlic, potato, bay leaf, thyme, cayenne, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Cook partially covered to soften, 7-8 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook 1-2 minutes. Add stock and milk, and simmer to thicken. Add corn and bring to a bubble. Add fish and cook through, 3-4 minutes more. Adjust seasoning and serve topped with chives and parsley, with oyster crackers on the side and Tabasco for passing at table.
