I've recently relocated to London from Sydney and I'll ramble about good food and drink around town, eclectic electronic music, absolutely anything to do with digital media, throw some sport (more than likely cricket) in and the odd personal experience — as seen through my camera lens.

Extreme Eating – Live Fried Fish

Disclaimer: If you are at all squeamish, do not go any further with this post.

After my last post, I received some interesting posts on Facebook and some live discussion around ethics of eating live animals. I do not condone eating live animals for one minute, and the Sannakji I posted previously was an example of a lingering electrochemical reaction that causes the tentacles to wiggle across the plate. They were not alive – anymore.

The footage below takes the cake for the abhorrent treatment of animals.

This video of a deep-fried, yet still breathing gasping fish at a restaurant. The footage is understood to be of Chinese origin, and this is one of the most disturbing things I have seen. Whether you’re a carnivore or not, the indifference to the suffering of this animal shown is unfathomable.

    Oh yeah, seen that before. Definitely Chinese. I think it might’ve been on Cooking in the Danger Zone.
