IPOH: Every Chinese New Year, the snakehead (a carnivorous fish) is the food of choice for many as they celebrate the seventh day of the festival – a day dedicated to the human race. 

There is a great demand for the fish on the seventh day, which falls today, because its name, sang yue, in this Cantonese-speaking city symbolises longevity and good health.
