Hotel dining table layout

At the banquet, the whole fish belly should face the guests, and the "fish" should be served on the guest table. There are three ways to place the head and tail:

1, fish head outward, indicating that everyone should go well and make it convenient for everyone. In the future, carp can leap into Longmen and have a bright future;

2. The fish head points at the host or someone with special status to show special respect for the host, indicating that it is the first of all guests at the banquet table. Please advise.

3. The fish head goes west or east. West means going upstream, encouraging everyone to work boldly. East means going downstream, smooth sailing and unimpeded.

How to serve the whole fish at the banquet;

At the guest table of the farewell party, the chef will ask the waiter to put a piece of red paper in the tray after cooking the fish and send the fish to the table together. At this time, the big guests at the farewell party will know that the food is ready, and the chef will thank the chef. Experienced guests and guests will automatically take out thank-you gifts and cigarettes from their pockets and put them on the tray, casually saying, "disrespect." The waiter bowed and turned away.
