The first meal of the New Year that is booming and has "fish" every year---[Braised fish with garlic and spicy sauce]

Overview

Time flies, stars move, and 1314 has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past year, I was happy and growing; in the past year, I lost a lot, but also gained a lot; in the past year, I had joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Farewell with a grateful heart and welcome with a hopeful heart. May you be happy and healthy, gain a lot and be full of happiness in the new year! Chinese people celebrate the New Year. In order to have a good omen, they must eat fish during the New Year. The implication is that there will be more than enough every year. Fish is the same as "yu", and there is no feast without fish. Especially as a seaside person, fish is an indispensable dish on the festive table. There are many kinds of fish, and each fish is cooked. The cooking methods are different, including braised, deep-fried, smoked, grilled, pan-fried, etc., but there must be a big fish as a main dish on the table. The type of fish is not important, the important thing is that the bigger the fish, the better it means a new atmosphere in the coming year, and the wish of having more than enough every year will come true. On New Year's Day, I chose a 6-pound fish as the first dish for the New Year. I cooked it with garlic chili sauce. The finished fish was red, oily, and very delicious, which symbolized a prosperous New Year and abundant abundance every year.
