The Mandarin word for fish is ‘yu’ and during the New Year celebrations people wish each other ‘Nian nian you yu’, which translates as ‘Have abundance every year’. Serving the fish whole symbolises unity and completeness. Make up for the ‘incompleteness’ of using fillets by serving this dish with whole steamed small pak choy and uncut buckwheat noodles (uncut noodles symbolise longevity).
