My family has Yu Sheng every year and somehow we forget some of the auspicious wishes. Here is the mini SOP for reference:
When the Yu Sheng is served to the table, welcome it with "恭喜发财！万事如意！“
And the auspcious wishes as each of the ingredient is added:
Raw Fish - 年年有余
Abalone - 年年包有余
Pomelo, lime/lemon juice - 大吉大利
Pepper - 招财进宝
Five-spiced powder - 五福临门
Sesame oil - 一本万利、财源广进
Sweet plum sauce - 甜甜蜜蜜
Red carrots - 鸿运当头
Green radish, ginger, lettuce, etc - 青春永在
White radish, ginger, etc - 风山水起
Peanuts - 生意兴隆
Sesame seeds - 财源滚滚
Crispy fried pillows - 金银满屋、满地黄金
And when everyone is ready to toss in the good fortune, you will say "捞起！ 捞起！ 老到凤山水起！“
