I know Sashimi in Japan is normally served up fresh but this is taking things beyond. I wonder if that "remaining" fish is still "usable" after that.

It took her a while to swallow it.

That's a guy. A guy with really feminine, delicate features.

That style of hair is not uncommon with asians. The point I'm making however is not on how slow he was eating it (he was actually savoring it, slowly), but at what was shown at the end of the video...

What? Does the fish regrow that flesh, and they keep trimming off more flesh later? Could this be a renewable meat source? LOL.

*Edit: Apparently not, rest of fish eventually fried for food. Still an interesting concept, though. Animals with no central nervous system harvested for meat, hey, at least they get to live, unlike many vegetables that are slaughtered all the time.

If that isn't cruel I can't imagine anything that would be.

Besides the person eating it looks like they're going to puke.

Is that what they were talking about at the end of the video (my japanese comprehension is too basic for that)?

I don't think he was feeling sick or anything like that, but more like he was amazed that the fish was still able to swim (normally, from the look of it) despite having had its flesh sliced off.

Cheers!

Doesn't look cruel to me because fish don't feel pain, and that actually looked delicious.

I wasn't sure.

It does look kinda creepy to see a fish mutilated and perhaps looking back at you as you eat it's flesh. Sashimi taken to a new level perhaps.

It's also possible to eat sashimi pieces from the fish while it's still alive and on your plate. I saw that on TV a while ago.

I wouldn't doubt it...I've seen people throw live octupi in their mouths while they were still squirming and trying to grab their faces. Man it was creepy.

I've eaten fish head before, including the eyes. It's good actually but never tried it raw.

I've tried the eyes before and they weren't bad, but I don't eat them anymore because it creeps me out.

It's done in Korea, I believe. You have to do it right so said octopus can't suction on the inside of your throat and choke you.

Not something I'd be willing to try.
