One of our PN posters put this up today, and I have to say, I found it mega creepy!

It reminded me of the time we went to a Korean restaurant, and I ordered a Japanese fish dish...which came with tons of fish flakes on top. These were all waving and moving and the whole effect was that the dish was still alive.

I made a surprised comment, and everyone turned to look at us, and the manager ran over...and then we all had a good laugh!

I suspect the squid in this video had to pretty fresh to react the way it did! I have seen videos of people eating LIVE things...including octopus, and definitely that is not for ME!

Gross! I hadn't seen this post before. I came here to post something much more beautiful. I see it's from an Aussie site too. <groan> We do eat a lot of asian recipes here though not usually something that horrid. eek

That really is taking Heston Blumenthal's scent and smell of the sea to a whole new dimension. One I don't think he'd recommend.

Thats awful to torture that poor thing. poor stuff that burns on his legs and letting him die a slow painful death. OMG there outta be a way to serve fresh without having to torture. thats horrid.

That is too creepy...and this is coming from a squid lover now a former squid lover! lol!
