This sounds very similar to the fish chowder our family has always made - one of my favorites. A great variation we have done is to use smoked haddock in place of the regular haddock - adds a different layer of flavour. We always add the fish in at the end (chopped in chunks and raw) and let it cook until opaque before adding the milk. Also if you try the smoked fish don't add as much salt initially since it will add some saltiness, adjust salt to taste at the end.
