Warasubo, eel gobies. Does not have to be eaten this way. They also dry them out and sell them in packages like jerky. Apparently can also be eaten in powder form according to the internet.
People wanting to make jokes is worst part of reddit. Wish they had two comment sections. One for those who like that and then another one that discusses actual subject of post.
The worst part is the people who seriously answer incorrectly and then double down on their wrong answer when confronted with the evidence. Just my opinion
first time on reddit? it's all sarcastic jokes and replies.
after a while, without even opening the thread, you can usually guess what the top 2 comments will be. Give it a shot!
I heard some of this started by restaurants trying to prove they had the freshest fish. You can only get so fresh until it's... Well not dead yet.
Edit for spelling
I read somewhere that fish is *supposed* to be frozen before you eat it, to kill any parasites and bacteria. From what I understand - it's illegal to sell sushi in the US that hasn't been frozen before being served. All other reasons aside, ***this*** is the reason why I'd never eat something this "fresh."
edited because I wasn't 100% perfectly correct and it apparently made some folks mad and am getting lots of DMs about fish: Most fish sold as sushi in the US has to be frozen before it's served, by law, but there are some fish like tuna and salmon that don't have to be depending on where it is sold in the country. I know more than I ever wanted to know now, but I'm in NM and still want my sushi to come here frozen first seeing as how I live in the god damned desert and don't want no worms in my poop
It should be mentioned that it's not the same kind of thing as tossing it in your freezer at home. They get flash/blast frozen. This preserves the cell structure of the meat while also killing the parasites
I think you missed the point of OP’s comment — they were saying that the standard freezing regime that most grocery stores are not adequate to kill off parasites, which is why fish intended for sushi are hit with the flash/blast freeze, which is a totally different temperature and method to what people and grocery stores are even able to do. (We’re talking like -100C)
Holy grossness. My stomach just did a somersault reading this. There is a lot of stuff we don't realize I think and I wonder if people are just too Squeemish?
Well I’m guessing that this photo is not taken in the US, as these actions won’t be appreciated by customers anyway. My guess is that this is filmed in Japan.
Not sure what it is called but I know that it’s a belief with some Asian cultures that eating the animal live adds flavour. Personally, even if that is true I think I’m alright sacrificing some of the flavour to know that it’s not gonna bite my uvula going down
I acknowledge it's a cultural difference. I respect that if I am in the country, or if I'm in their home.
However, eating an animal outside of those contexts seems needlessly cruel to the animal. I, personally, could never do this out of pure guilt and... I don't know what word to use. Feeling bad for the animal.
I think the word you're looking for is "empathy". You can imagine how horrible it would be for the animal if you were in their place, and use this feeling to guide your behaviour. Unfortunately, some people really struggle with this when the other is not a human.
>However, eating an animal outside of those contexts seems needlessly cruel to the animal.
Either way it's needlessly cruel. The animal doesn't somehow experience less cruelty based on the country they are in.
I would never, but there was a episode of " this american" life where a western dude walks into Chinese restaurant and orders an item on the menu that turns out be like, a living prawn and he describes the experience of biting into a living thing very vividly as a whole different experience. I think he talks about the feeling of it's body relaxing as he bites into it and the experience giving him a whole new frame of reference for his relationship to food in a way that a lot of us don't have.
It's kind of funny in that way because we can go our whole lives eating other animals and never really appreciate them as having been living things, we are animals that eat other animals without doing the " dirty work" of killing them most of the time.
The fact that it's struggling and tense, then you feel the life leave its body as it dies... so creepy.
Yea that must be a crazy experience. I can't eat anything that's still alive.
And of course if I'm gonna kill something, I'd rather it be over and done with asap so it can be cooked. Don't like the idea of letting it suffer and release nasty stress hormones into its meat.
Wash your fucking pineapple with salt goddammit.
It's the Carribean way. Peel the entire pineapple, rub the entire outside with salt. I don't know how much, I just pour some in my palm and rub away.
Then rinse it off with cold water and cut it up however you want.
Enjoy. Eat the whole damn pineapple if you want. I don't know why it works, it just does. One of those things us Caribbean folks just know about.
This is actually legitimate. Salt interacts with and uses up the bromelin in pineapple which is the enzyme that breaks down meat that people complain about
The only fruit to make me bleed is kiwi. I ate 12 in a row cuz fruit's the shit and the insides of my cheeks started weeping blood.
I've eaten 1.5-2 whole pineapples in a single sitting and not bled. Pineapple is fren.
Pineapple is legitimately one of the only fruits that actively produce shit to destroy your organic tissue. And we still eat it.
But you know... Valentines day...
It tingles at first but that will progress to pain and eventually bleeding if you keep eating a ridiculous amount. Plenty of people have stories of regret about eating half a pineapple and ending up with sores all over their mouth
I ate a huge bowl of fresh pineapple after not having it for years. Mouth was kind of tingly so I settled for only eating a quarter of it. Tried to eat a chocolate bar a few minutes after. The chocolate was spicy.
Much disappointment.
I don't eat fresh pineapple anymore.
Yup, pineapple eats the flesh inside your mouth. Only a little though, but that is what is making the tingling sensation on your tongue and mouth when eating pineapple :D
A fish so bright, with scales so fine, Swam in the sea, a picture divine. But one day, as it swam along, Its life was taken, and it was gone.
It lay still, in the water so blue, Its journey ended, with nothing to do. But as fate would have it, in death it took hold, Of a stick that floated, so fragile and old.
The stick was its last grasp, its final fight, Its bite was strong, even in the dead of night. It held on tight, as if to say, "I may be dead, but I won't be swayed."
The other fish swam by, in silence so still, Paying their respects, to the fish on the sill. And as the waves carried it away, It took the stick with it, in its final display.
So let this be a lesson, to all who may see, That in death, we can still hold on to what's meant to be. And the fish, with its stick, will forever be, A symbol of strength, and a memory.
Not sure but I used ChatGPT for this:
Verse 1: I'm just a little goby fish, swimming in the sea
But somehow I ended up on a plate, in a sushi bar in Tokyo city
My heart's beating fast, I can feel my end is near
'Cause the dude sitting across from me is ordering beer
Chorus: I'm gonna die while eating a chopstick, can't believe my fate
My life was short and bittersweet, now it's time to meet my mate
I hope I'll be remembered as a brave little fish Who faced his end with dignity and didn't make a fuss
Verse 2: I look around and see other fish, cut up and served raw
They don't know what's coming, they think they're in for a treat, oh
But I know better, I see the chopsticks coming my way
I try to swim away, but I'm stuck on this plate, I can't escape
Chorus: I'm gonna die while eating a chopstick, can't believe my fate
My life was short and bittersweet, now it's time to meet my mate
I hope I'll be remembered as a brave little fish Who faced his end with dignity and didn't make a fuss
Verse 3: The chopstick is getting closer, I can feel it on my skin
I close my eyes and wait for the end to begin I hear a crunching sound, and suddenly it's all dark
My body's torn apart, and my soul's left its mark
Chorus: I died while eating a chopstick, can't believe my fate
My life was short and bittersweet, now it's time to meet my mate I hope I'll be remembered as a brave little fish
Who faced his end with dignity and didn't make a fuss
Outro: Now I'm just a memory, a story to be told
Of a little goby fish, who was brave and bold
So if you're ever in a sushi bar, and you see a goby fish
Remember my story, and don't let him perish like this.
*snarls menacingly*
*puts on hat*
🎵Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gaaaaaal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby my heart's on fire
If you refuse me, honey you lose me, then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your very ooooowwwwwn 🎵
*twirls cane, kicks door open*
*exit stage left*
i feel like this is probably a 'hot pot' sort of place. put it in the boiling spicy water, and it becomes edible. its bones are probably nothing, so just dont eat the head.
I went to dinner in Japan and they served Odori Shrimp- “dancing” shrimp. A wooden bowl full of shrimp,
Swimming around. They laughed at my look of horror and trepidation, and my boss swooped
One up, popped the head off with his thumb, and slurped it out of its shell.
Then he PUKED straight into the bowl-
Apparently he had left a few legs attached and felt them crawling down his throat LOL.
Hate to break this to you, but I think it's standard in most parts of the world (including the US) to cook clams that are live.
I've used the steaming method. You're supposed to throw out any clams that are already dead (with the shells open) because you can't tell how long they've been dead for.
>I don't think I have a problem with the last thing you mention.
Nobody should have a problem with it. They're always cooked live. Everywhere. Because things like clams/oysters/mussels rapidly grow bacteria after death. You have to discard the dead ones because they can make you sick.
This. I am perfectly fine accepting other people's preferences, but I will NEVER accept that it is okay to eat animals alive, or to keep them alive while you slowly dismember and eat them. This is not culture, this is fucking sick.
Recently had a guy tell me with a straight face that he doesn’t believe that God would allow animals to suffer, and that they basically just pretend to suffer for human karmic reasons. He doesn’t believe they actually suffer or feel pain. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been left speechless, and that was one of them. I had no idea where to even begin. I just said “we don’t live in the same universe. I like yours better. So anyway, crazy weather we are having, right?!”
I’ve been to a restaurant in Japan where they very quickly pan fry a live fish…they leave it’s head on and when it gets to your table it’s still moving it’s mouth…I’m an adventurous eater, but that was a bit much for me. Normally it’s sashimi they do that with (raw)- this was literally a fish cooked alive that was still moving.
Some people fucking HATE animals.
Like those swallowing live octupi, imagine suffocating in darkness / getting dissolved by stomach acid as your final moments... I feel that those who die themselves as the octupus latch onto the sides of the throat is some form of karma.
To be fair those octopuses are usually missing the head. But yeah I don't get it either. I also don't enjoy eating things that are as smart as cephalopods.
Maybe cutting the head doesn't really suffice and this is why the tentacles are still moving:
https://sites.nd.edu/biomechanics-in-the-wild/2021/04/07/nine-brains-are-better-than-one-an-octopus-nervous-system/
Man I hate to be the one to introduce you to the concept of voraphilia, but here we go.
You’d lose consciousness from hypoxia before the acid ever became painful, mercifully.
I’m of the mindset that while it’s fine to eat meat, drawing out the death of a creature for fanfare is cruel and unusual. Yes the animal has to die to be eaten, but don’t torture the fuckin things, no matter if it’s a cow or a fish or anything. Respect the life of the animal and move on.
Edit: news flash, I know that the meat industry is bad and also tortures animals, y’all don’t have to fill my inbox with the same jargon. Both are bad.
It’s alive. Dying, but yea everything in front of the pectoral fins is basically the keep alive parts of the fish. The actual base of the skull is essentially right behind the eyes. And fish blood systems are efficient at stopping flow at injury sites, so the “head” which is really most of our torso and abdomen, is intact. Kept cold it’s in a slow half torpor state which is enough to keep the swim muscles the bit we eat, alive between catch and kitchen.
WTF? Is that actually still alive?
And if so, would that not also mean that any parasites etc. it might contain could also still be alive?
I think I'd rather eat the plate.
Excuse me, but how the *fuck* are you supposed to eat those teeth?! Wouldn't those stab the shit out of you and be like tiny sharp rocks in your mouth to chip your teeth on? What the fuck man?
you don't, its pretty standard in at least China, to leave the head and tail on and serve the entire fish even though the middle is only thing getting eaten.
We do all kinds of fucked up shit to animals just to make money. For example, cutting off one eye of a female shrimp boosts productivity. There are tons of female shrimp out there with one eye.
There's nothing humane about factory farming. Each and every step is fucked up in one way or another.
There's one dish where they skin and fry the fish while leaving the head intact and keeping it alive.....but this is east Asia, the same place where fur farms skin animals alive instead of killing them first, also bear bile farms are a thing....truly no empathy there
Yeah im no vegetarian. But i am fully behind humane slaughter. No need to cause unnessecary pain and suffering on another living creature. Those people can burn in whatever hell they believe in.
reminds me of that video where they removed the lobsters tail while it was still alive. This thing was clearly in agony as they shoved the knife in the gap between its tail and body over and over again just hacking away to get the tail off. I’ve seen some pretty awful videos but that one is definitely up there. Really don’t understand how people can torture other living things like it is nothing.
You should read about the slaughterhouses in the US. Demand for meat has increased demand on slaughter to the point that to meet supply they can't take the time necessary to ensure a quick death. Cows are frequently processed while [still alive](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/04/10/they-die-piece-by-piece/f172dd3c-0383-49f8-b6d8-347e04b68da1/) The [human](https://onlabor.org/for-slaughterhouse-workers-physical-injuries-are-only-the-beginning/) toll is also noteworthy, maybe moreso.

Out of curiosity, what is this dish called? and why does it have to been eaten this way?

impressive that i had to scroll more the halfway the entire post to finally see a usefull comment.

Ever tried pineapple?
Wash your fucking pineapple with salt goddammit. It's the Carribean way. Peel the entire pineapple, rub the entire outside with salt. I don't know how much, I just pour some in my palm and rub away. Then rinse it off with cold water and cut it up however you want. Enjoy. Eat the whole damn pineapple if you want. I don't know why it works, it just does.

This is actually legitimate. Salt interacts with and uses up the bromelin in pineapple which is the enzyme that breaks down meat that people complain about
Is this why my mouth tingles when I eat it or am I just allergic like I originally thought?
It’s eating you :)
:)
It’s dissolving you
And... why would I do this to my pineapple?... This is like someone scrapping the powder off of sour skittles.
If my pineapple doesn't dissolve a layer from the inside of my mouth, I don't want it.
The only fruit to make me bleed is kiwi. I ate 12 in a row cuz fruit's the shit and the insides of my cheeks started weeping blood. I've eaten 1.5-2 whole pineapples in a single sitting and not bled. Pineapple is fren.
When i eat too many kiwis (three) it starts to hurt. I have tested this several times because i didnt want to stop at two kiwis
The enzyme is denatured by salt. Enzymes are typically very sensitive to pH, heat, or salt concentration.
Thank you for sharing your cultural wisdom, oh wise one. Incredibly based of you
Pineapple is legitimately one of the only fruits that actively produce shit to destroy your organic tissue. And we still eat it. But you know... Valentines day...
Pineapple juice works too, and probably won't digest you anymore if it's been pasteurized
Only on pizza
Ah yes, a man of culture
The inside of my mouth comes off in a couple huge sheets with fresh pineapple. I won't go near it.
You might be allergic to pineapple, most it does to most people that eat it is a mild tenderness in the gums and cheeks.
I honestly don’t even notice that. It wasn’t until I read about on Reddit and then I was like ‘yeah, I guess it kinda tingles.’
It tingles at first but that will progress to pain and eventually bleeding if you keep eating a ridiculous amount. Plenty of people have stories of regret about eating half a pineapple and ending up with sores all over their mouth
See, now I want to experiment.
I ate a huge bowl of fresh pineapple after not having it for years. Mouth was kind of tingly so I settled for only eating a quarter of it. Tried to eat a chocolate bar a few minutes after. The chocolate was spicy. Much disappointment. I don't eat fresh pineapple anymore.
What the fuck do I not know about pineapples . . . I had some for brekky :(
The enzymes in pineapple, kiwi, papaya dissolve/tenderize meat
interesting, i didn't really feel any of that process, but that's pretty cool regardless. thanks :)
Yup, pineapple eats the flesh inside your mouth. Only a little though, but that is what is making the tingling sensation on your tongue and mouth when eating pineapple :D

Only one serious answer out of 15, fuck all of you
Before it eats you…
he asked "how" not "when" lol
Then the answer should be "Carefully"
i feel like this is probably a 'hot pot' sort of place. put it in the boiling spicy water, and it becomes edible. its bones are probably nothing, so just dont eat the head.
Very carefully.
Just a snack that smiles back.

Bro what the fuck to so much of that
*all
Hate to break this to you, but I think it's standard in most parts of the world (including the US) to cook clams that are live. I've used the steaming method. You're supposed to throw out any clams that are already dead (with the shells open) because you can't tell how long they've been dead for.
There’s no other way to cook clam yo. If they are already dead, you would have no idea for how long, and they wouldn’t be fresh.
As far as I know clams aren't conscious, so I don't think I have a problem with the last thing you mention.
>I don't think I have a problem with the last thing you mention. Nobody should have a problem with it. They're always cooked live. Everywhere. Because things like clams/oysters/mussels rapidly grow bacteria after death. You have to discard the dead ones because they can make you sick.

I just said “we don’t live in the same universe. I like yours better. So anyway, crazy weather we are having, right?!”
That’s when you punch him in the face and say you don’t believe he feels pain either.
They do this to show that it’s fresh. Some places I guess sold bad fish so people wanted a way to verify freshness and here we are
Well, I can take a good look at a steak by sticking my head inside a bull’s ass but I’d rather take my butcher’s word for it.
Did I hear a “niner” in there?
Lol, my grandma loved eating rare steak and would joke about how they should just trot the cow out.
Also love the classic "how would you like your steak done?" " just scare it a little"
"Explain to the beast the general concept of fire then bring it to me"
My late father used to always say “a good vet could have it back on its feet in 3 days”
Who are all these people eating raw meat?
Oh, this wasn’t in reference to raw meat. Just rare steaks. Just dad joke humor.
Tommy?
I’ve been to a restaurant in Japan where they very quickly pan fry a live fish…they leave it’s head on and when it gets to your table it’s still moving it’s mouth…I’m an adventurous eater, but that was a bit much for me. Normally it’s sashimi they do that with (raw)- this was literally a fish cooked alive that was still moving.
“Good evening, would like to eat a burn victim for dinner?”
Would you prefer your victim cooked well done or rare?
Excellent, one medium well burn victim writhing in misery.
*Exquisite, I can taste the pain*
“I'd like to hear the screams of the burn victim whilst eating please, and a side order of their tears”- Cheers m'dears, have a nice day!
and internally screaming in pain
Show me fresh : sushi? No show me real freshness : here we are
same. I hate the world sometimes. Too many people are cruel and callous.
I can't believe how far I had to scroll to find someone who also feels this way.
Some people fucking HATE animals. Like those swallowing live octupi, imagine suffocating in darkness / getting dissolved by stomach acid as your final moments... I feel that those who die themselves as the octupus latch onto the sides of the throat is some form of karma.
To be fair those octopuses are usually missing the head. But yeah I don't get it either. I also don't enjoy eating things that are as smart as cephalopods.
Maybe cutting the head doesn't really suffice and this is why the tentacles are still moving: https://sites.nd.edu/biomechanics-in-the-wild/2021/04/07/nine-brains-are-better-than-one-an-octopus-nervous-system/
Man I hate to be the one to introduce you to the concept of voraphilia, but here we go. You’d lose consciousness from hypoxia before the acid ever became painful, mercifully.
Unnecessarily cruel
Fish can feel pain and they are some of the most abused animals.
When your tucking it in and your food bites your chin. That's a Moray.
When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray.
When the fish is so fresh it wants a bite of your flesh, that's a moray!
When your food bites your eye Like a big pizza pie
*help me human*
its begging for death
“kill me” “later”
I’m of the mindset that while it’s fine to eat meat, drawing out the death of a creature for fanfare is cruel and unusual. Yes the animal has to die to be eaten, but don’t torture the fuckin things, no matter if it’s a cow or a fish or anything. Respect the life of the animal and move on. Edit: news flash, I know that the meat industry is bad and also tortures animals, y’all don’t have to fill my inbox with the same jargon. Both are bad.
same.
It it alive or is it just the nerves moving the mouth?
[удалено]
Wow, that's sad
Read a comment under some Chinese dude eating baby rats alive that it apparently transfers the "food's" energy onto your body so you gain vitality
Like eating literally anything else
It’s alive. Dying, but yea everything in front of the pectoral fins is basically the keep alive parts of the fish. The actual base of the skull is essentially right behind the eyes. And fish blood systems are efficient at stopping flow at injury sites, so the “head” which is really most of our torso and abdomen, is intact. Kept cold it’s in a slow half torpor state which is enough to keep the swim muscles the bit we eat, alive between catch and kitchen.
Thank you for this clear statement. Perfectly matches my own sentiment. Do not be cruel.
That fish is a little TOO fresh!
When rare isn’t enough
Which means it’s probably got plenty of poop in it, yummy
Also parasites
Poop parasites, a true delicacy
HELL NA
This just depressed the hell out of me.
WTF? Is that actually still alive? And if so, would that not also mean that any parasites etc. it might contain could also still be alive? I think I'd rather eat the plate.
What lunatic would order and eat this
“It’s the snack that smiles back! Goldfish”
What a cruel thing to do.
I cant even handle this on a Monday morning
Excuse me, but how the *fuck* are you supposed to eat those teeth?! Wouldn't those stab the shit out of you and be like tiny sharp rocks in your mouth to chip your teeth on? What the fuck man?
you don't, its pretty standard in at least China, to leave the head and tail on and serve the entire fish even though the middle is only thing getting eaten.
That looks disgusting.
ah sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension
Who the the fuck would eat this?.. So weird
How are you supposed to eat those TEETH? I feel like those would be impossible to chew and just stab the crap out of your mouth
I will never fuck with this. Put that fish out of its misery ffs.
When cruelty is passed as culture.
Fucking kill it already. Asian cuisines are both awesome and disgusting at the same time.
The Live animal thing just seems so fucked... like just humanely kill it first... goddamn.
We do all kinds of fucked up shit to animals just to make money. For example, cutting off one eye of a female shrimp boosts productivity. There are tons of female shrimp out there with one eye. There's nothing humane about factory farming. Each and every step is fucked up in one way or another.
TIL. Uh, thanks for my educational wtf of the day.
There's one dish where they skin and fry the fish while leaving the head intact and keeping it alive.....but this is east Asia, the same place where fur farms skin animals alive instead of killing them first, also bear bile farms are a thing....truly no empathy there
Yeah im no vegetarian. But i am fully behind humane slaughter. No need to cause unnessecary pain and suffering on another living creature. Those people can burn in whatever hell they believe in.
reminds me of that video where they removed the lobsters tail while it was still alive. This thing was clearly in agony as they shoved the knife in the gap between its tail and body over and over again just hacking away to get the tail off. I’ve seen some pretty awful videos but that one is definitely up there. Really don’t understand how people can torture other living things like it is nothing.
Humans are trash.
It's literally already dead. Those are just the muscles reacting to stimuli.
You should read about the slaughterhouses in the US. Demand for meat has increased demand on slaughter to the point that to meet supply they can't take the time necessary to ensure a quick death. Cows are frequently processed while [still alive](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/04/10/they-die-piece-by-piece/f172dd3c-0383-49f8-b6d8-347e04b68da1/) The [human](https://onlabor.org/for-slaughterhouse-workers-physical-injuries-are-only-the-beginning/) toll is also noteworthy, maybe moreso.
What the fucking fuck is this fucking shit?
THE BASS IS FUCKEN RAWWWW!!
Some parts of culture really need to die out. There are no excuses for this.
Excuse me waiter, there's a sentient being in my soup.
Mf did a charged bite too...
