Twitching Fish 'Is Popular Dish In China

Sky News

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.
