Cook Bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tbsp of bacon fat. Discard remaining fat.
Melt Butter and reserved bacon fat in the pot. Add Onion and Celery and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in Flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in Clam Juice and Sherry, ensuring no lumps form. Add Bay Leaf.
Add Potatoes and Thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Remove Bay Leaf. Stir in Heavy Cream and Milk. Heat through, but do not boil.
Gently fold in Chopped Clams (with juice) and Haddock. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and clams are heated.
Season with Salt, White Pepper, and Cayenne Pepper to taste. Garnish with crumbled Bacon. Serve hot.
