Prosperity Fish

my hokkien friends told me usually they eat Fa Cai fish on the 2nd day of lunar new year for Prosperity reason. this period such Rabbit Fish or White Stomach fish come in very large shoal. in other time, cantonese call it Lai-Monk.

during such festival, the fresh ones in 2013, sell at about $2.50 a kg. frozen type is around $3 to 4 for a packet of 6 or 7 fish. 

for cny it's usually done in the steam way. often eggs are found in its stomach. it's a delicacy.
