Fry bacon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until it's just beginning to brown. Remove and reserve -- and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter, then gently saute shallots, onion, and thyme until the onion is tender. Add potato, tomato, salt, and pepper, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add milk and cauliflower, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes. Season to taste.
When ready to serve, add bass and the reserved bacon and simmer for about 3 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Stir in the white part of the green onion, then ladle into bowls. Top each with a chip of butter and a sprinkling of the green onion.
