What 鯧 means
鯧 means pomfret. A Tang-era southern account of 鯧魚 notes its soft edible bone and the local nickname 狗瞌睡魚. A later materia-medica entry keeps it as food and medicine.
Read it as dinner: Chinese gloss is silver or white pomfret, Japanese reads it as managatsuo. It is built 魚 plus 昌, and simplified 鲳 is the same fish name.
Specialized food vocabulary, not a social reaction.
Do not read it as a decorative fish emoji.

A font gap. This character needs a CJK font that contains it; no emoji artwork is involved.
