- Comments: This is a classic Chinese poached fish recipe. Whole fish symbolizes togetherness and abundance and is a very important New Year's food; the green onions which top the fish are a sign of brilliance. There are rules to preparing whole fish. Always keep the fish intact while cooking and never turn it over. To serve, filet the upper portion of the fish, cutting horizontally along the bone. Cut the bone at the neck, then peel it back to remove it and reach the bottom portion of the fish. Serve the poached fish with hot steamed rice, that symbolizes wealth and prosperity. A sweet conclusion to your Chinese New Year meal would be tangerines to guarantee you abundant happiness for the year to come.
