In the current issue of Edible Manhattan, writer Nancy Matsumoto took a tour of Chinatown shops, markets and restaurants with Cantonese chef Yang Huang, the co-executive chef at Buddakan. He also gave her his top stops in honor of the Asian Lunar New Year, the most-important holiday that begins on Monday with the Year of the Dragon. Today on our weekly segment on NY1, we asked Huang to show us two traditional dishes his family will make at home on the first morning of the year: vegetarian longevity noodles and a whole steamed fish.

Years ago, we were lucky enough to get a pre-dawn tour of Fulton Fish Market, a few months before the old outdoor stalls shuttered and moved operations to a state of the art building in the south Bronx. It was the middle of winter and there on the East River waterfront ice and fish had pretty much become one. As fishmongers went about their work with bloody hooks and layers of clothing, the homeless guys camping out down on the cobblestones of South Street Seaport lit fires in metal trashcans and oil drums to beat the frigid cold. This Sunday’s New Amsterdam market is an homage to what came before, minus the cold and dark and plus a few lobster rolls and other goodies. Called the “Wintermarket,” it’ll feature a whole section of seafood from fisheries of the Northeast and New England.

We’ve met no man more obsessed with city seafoodery than Ben Sargent. He started out making chowder for surfers at Hurricane Hopeful, a chowder shack right off Williamsburg’s main Bedford Avenue drag, launched a killer website with recipes and his…

The Ingredient:
Clams. If you had planned ahead you would have baked a clam pie last night. Because, like many pies, clam pie — at its simplest, clams, potatoes and onions baked in a pie crust — gets better when…
