Carried out at home or when dining out at restaurants, yusheng is a raw fish salad that comes with an array of ingredients including shredded vegetables, crushed peanuts, fried flour crisps, pomelo, and more, each of which symbolises a blessing. The idea is to get everyone around the table to toss the ingredients up in the air using chopsticks while reciting auspicious phrases for luck and success. The higher you toss, the better.
