Bone fish and cut crosswise in 1-1/2 inch sections. Mince scallion, ginger root and garlic; then combine with soy sauce, sherry, sugar, salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Add to fish sections and let stand 1 hour, turning occasionally. Drain fish, discarding marinade; then blot dry with paper toweling. Meanwhile heat oil. Add fish, a few pieces at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling. In a saucepan, combine remaining soy sauce, salt and sugar with stock. Bring to a boil. Add fish sections and cook over moderate heat, stirring gently until sauce has nearly evaporated. Serve hot or cold. VARIATION: In step 4, reserve the marinade, and substitute it for the ingredients in step 5. Heat the marinade; dip each fish section in it for about 5 seconds, then drain on paper toweling. Arrange fish on a serving platter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon Five Spices, and serve. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
