It was a recipe for 'Raw Fish Party' (Yue Sang). [page 90]
Sounded to me like "Yu Sheng" or "Lo Hei" which we have in Singapore around Chinese New Year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng
Curiously the Wikipedia says this was 'created and popularized' in the 1960s. But the recipe, although not the same thing, is similar (big mound of grated carrot, radish, topped with stuff for crunch, some fish, some oil, some spices).
No idea what 'Chinese Chow Chow' is, nor the frequently-cited 'Fun Wine' mentioned in numerous other recipes of that book.
