Whole Fish for Chinese New Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This dish is perfect for Chinese New Year. The sweet and sour flavor represents love and passion combined while the word for fish, \u201cyu\u201d in China has the same sound of the word \u201cabundance and prosperity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of fish should you use for Fried Whole Fish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use any type of whole white fish you\u2019d like for this recipe such as tilapia, sea bass or cod. Unless, you want to scale the fish yourself, try to find one that is labeled as \u201cdressed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For CNY you want the head still on for luck. Other times of the year you can have it removed. Save the head and boil it with some water for fish stock. I apologize if you now have the song \"Fish Heads\" stuck in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n
