Symbol of good luck

COMPILED BY R.KRITHIKA

A golden-coloured tiger fish, weighing a whopping 48 kg, was sold to a restaurant for $75,000 in China recently. Well, the quoted price was $103,500 but the restaurant bargained to save about $30,000 — a tiger fish of the same weight cost three times less three years ago. Said to be a symbol of good luck and wealth, the fish, called golden cash tiger fish in Chinese, was caught off the Zhanjiang coast in southern China. The restaurant is to display the 1.75 m-long fish and will later sell it for 2,000 yuan per kg.
