In a dutch oven or deep pan, make a bed of ginger and Chinese chives in. Place the whole fish.
Pan fry the fish on both sides (with ginger and Chinese chives) to release some flavors of the fish for about 1-2 minutes. You can also do a broil method in the oven.
Add more ginger, Chinese chives, morrel slices, and pear slices. Add in soaked water from morrel and enough water to immerse the fish and start boiling at low-medium heat.
When boiling, turn down heat to low heat, add in gojiberries and allow it to simmer for about 20-30 minutes till everything is cooked. Salt to taste.
