Add potatoes, celery, and onion to drippings. Cook until the onion is tender.
Add broth. Cover, cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add fish (cut into half inch pieces) and add 2 1/2 cups of the milk.
Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for three minutes or until the fish is done.
