Default just get stirring

never heard of it,but that doesn't mean we couldn't try .
i think you should start with chicken or poultry stock,or vegetable stock since you want to use it with fish aswell.
Sautee some mirepoix in vegetable oil,add a bouquet garni,bayleaf ,garlic,crushed white peppercorns,pour in the stock,bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes,pass trough a fine sieve and season with salt.
roast the schezuan pepper ,put in a peppermill and add to the sauce when you serve it.
You can always add cream or thicken the sauce.
this should be a nice basic try-out.
Speaking from my european point of view that is.....

"Authentically modeled after the dipping sauces favored in this south/central province of China, Szechuan sauce is a balanced blend of shoyu, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and chilies."

from: http://www.chefmyrons.com/culinary_applications.html

Some sources for you to browse.
