== Directions ==
# Soak the mung bean threads in hot water for twenty minutes.
# Drain, and cut into 2-inch lengths.
# Set aside.
# Split the carrots, celery and leeks lengthwise in half.
# Clean, peel, and slice the vegetables into ½-inch-thick slices.
# Melt the butter in a stockpot over medium-high heat.
# Add the onions, carrots, leeks, parsley, garlic, bay leaves and juniper berries, tossing the mixture well to coat with butter.
# When the vegetables begin to sizzle, reduce the heat to medium low and cover.
# Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
# Add the tomato to the stockpot and stir for 1 minute.
# Add the fish bones and trimmings and white wine.
# Cook this mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
# Add cold water to cover and raise heat to medium high.
# Bring to a boil, skimming all of the froth from the surface as it forms.
# Immediately lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes.
# Strain the mixture, pressing the solids firmly to extract all liquid.
# Discard the solids.
# Add salt to taste.
# Heat 4 cups fish broth in a saucepan.
# Steam clams separately in small amount of broth just until shells open, removing each shell as it opens.
# Transfer to 4 warm soup bowls; strain clam broth into warm fish broth, avoiding any grit at the bottom.
# Add oysters to fish broth and cook gently over low heat, uncovered, just until edges curl, about 1 minute.
# Place 2 oysters in each bowl.
# Ladle warm broth into bowls and add 2 tablespoons mung bean threads.
# Add radicchio leaves and saffron and serve.
