Turning a fish over on its plate isconsidered a bad omen. When eating fish, many people prefer to use their chopsticks to pull the flesh from beneath the fish.
Reason: This tradition originates from fishermen. They and their families would not turn over the fish, for fear their boats would capsize the next time they went fishing. Nowadays, some drivers of vehicles say they should not turn a fish over for fear of drastically turning the steering wheel and causing an accident.
