Shrimp and lobster are both revered as symbols of fortune and good luck, making a great addition to your Lunar New Year menu. The Cantonese word for shrimp sounds like laughter (“ha”), so it’s come to signify happiness.

Whole fish is often served steamed at the unity dinner (though it can also be boiled or braised), due to the Chinese belief that it will bring prosperity, It’s crucial that the fish be served with its head and tail to represent both a good beginning and end.

Much like the whole fish, the whole chicken serves as a symbol of unity and family. Authentic steamed chicken is served whole—head and feet included—to further drive home the concept of reunion and rebirth. (FYI, the breadwinner in the family should eat the chicken feet, as they just might help them jump into wealth and good fortune.

Tangerine is one of the luckiest fruits in Chinese tradition, but you’ll likely also see oranges, pomelos, and other citrus fruit at the table. Its name sounds similar to the Chinese words for “luck” and “success,” so they’re often served at the end of a meal or given as gifts to relatives during visits year-round.
