Tossing Yu-Sheng for Lunar New Year

Yu-Sheng (鱼生) is a raw fish salad. It is made with strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed mainly with shredded vegetables, olive oil and plum sauce. Yu-Sheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (鱼)" is sounds like "abundance(余)", yu-sheng symbolises an increase in abundance.

We had our company lunch yesterday and the first dish was,Yu-Sheng. Everyone said good things as we tossed the yu-sheng. It was really messy but fun. The best thing was, it tasted great too!
