Dish the Fish for Chinese New Year

Only during festive Chinese New Year, rabbit fish sold locally at the market are full of creamy roe or milt.

During normal days the stomach area taste bitter.

Our Chinese believe eating Rabbit Fish filled with roe or milt is a sign of prosperity especially the Teochews. Ensuring Good Luck for the coming year.

Roe are generally yellowish in color whereas the milt are much paler.
