Rinse and pat dry the reserved fish carcass, set aside. Preheat the fryer.  
Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the carcass in the seasoned  
flour, on both sides, reserving the flour. Shake off any excess flour. Fry  
the carcass until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil  
and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the fillets into  
2
−ounces pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in the  
reserved flour, coating completely. In a large saute pan, over medium−high  
heat, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, lightly pan−fry  
the fish for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside. In  
the same saute pan, add the shallots and garlic. Season with salt and  
pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.  
Saute for 1 minute. Add 1 3/4 cup of the chicken stock. Dissolve the  
cornstarch in the remaining stock, making a slurry. Bring the stock to a  
boil. Stir in the slurry. Boil the liquid for 2 minutes and then reduce to a  
simmer. Add the fish fillets and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Reseason and  
stir in the parsley. To assemble, place the fried fish carcass on a large  
platter. Lay the fillets over the crispy bone. Spoon the sauce over the  
fillets. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 2 servings.
