Cantonese steamed fish is often served as one of the courses at a Chinese banquet on Chinese New Year due to the belief that it will bring prosperity. Fish is a symbolic gesture of hope for long-lasting prosperity and a wish that the year will begin and end with a surplus of money. It's also a quick and easy meal to make on any weeknight at home with just a few ingredients.
