Sick! If you eat an animal, make sure it's killed as quick and painlessly as possible.
Twitching Fish 'Is Popular Dish In China'
Sunday July 08, 2007
A chef in Taiwan has been criticised for reportedly serving a deep fried fish with its head still twitching.
The chef presents the carp with its body cooked and covered with sweet and sour sauce, the newspaper United Daily News said.
"When eaters pick the fresh meat with their chopsticks, they can watch the fish's stirring mouth," the paper continued.
Animal lovers have criticised the practice, saying deep frying the fish while alive puts it through extreme pain.
The chef in the southern city of Chiayi said the dish - called yin yang fish - is popular in China, where chefs use it to show customers how fresh the food is.
"I've tried my best to offer my customers the finest dishes," the report quoted the chef - who was only identified by his surname Wang - as saying.
Officials in Chiayi promised to persuade Wang to drop the dish from his menu, the report said.
