I don't have one either. When I was growing up the tradition was to put bread and salt and fish scales on the table overnight on New Years Eve for New Years Day. This was supposed to keep you wealthy and healthy in the new year.

So before new years we had to go to the market and buy some scaly fish. We cleaned them, dried the scales and then New Years fare was usually fried fish.
