Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add bacon pieces and cook until nicely browned and crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Keep only 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the saucepan. Discard the rest.
Reduce heat to medium and sauté the onions until tender about 10 minutes. Add thyme, caraway seeds, star anise, bay leaf, sauerkraut, wine and chicken stock. Taste for salt and pepper.
Bring sauerkraut to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally making sure there is enough liquid in the sauerkraut. Cook for about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf and star anise.
Add heavy cream to sauerkraut and cook stirring now and then for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened a bit. Keep it warm.
Salt and pepper the fish. Dust it with flour. Shake off the excess.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook until golden brown on both sides about 4-6 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a plate and keep it warm.
Add shrimp to skillet and cook it just until pink. Place fish and shrimps on top of the sauerkraut and reheat briefly just to allow the fish to absorb the sauerkraut sauce.
Serve on warmed plates. Small roasted potatoes are a good choice to go with.
