《吃清蒸鲈鱼》
中秋聚餐蒸鲈鱼，
了然消解乡愁局。
是无憾事无小刺，
快哉品鉴无束拘。
《Eating Steamed Perch》
For the Mid-Autumn feast, we steam perch,
Easing homesickness, a comforting match.
No regrets, no tiny bones to fear,
How delightful to taste without restraint or care.
《Eating Steamed Perch》
On Mid-Autumn night, we steam perch for feast,
Easing homesickness, a heart's relieved quest.
Oh, how wonderful if there were no tiny bones,
To savor freely, unconstrained and at ease.
清蒸鲈鱼的“莼鲈之思”的典故。
西晋时期，有一位名叫张翰的官员，在洛阳为官。有一年秋天，西风渐起，张翰思乡之情油然而生，特别怀念家乡吴中的莼菜羹和鲈鱼脍。最终，他毅然辞官回乡，享受家乡的美食与宁静生活。
“鲥鱼多刺，海棠无香，红楼未完”，这是清代著名文学家金圣叹总结的“人生三恨”之一，将鲥鱼多刺列为人生遗憾之首， 足见人们对鱼刺的无奈与感慨。
