No, it's sorcery. Dark magic animating zombie squids is the only explanation. The brown liquid is simply the final step in this macabre ritual.

Thanks for that!

Yes, it's arguably one of the best episodes as well. I know it's really really corny and sappy, but that last scene with Bill Nighy and Vincent in the modern museum broke my heart.

Same happens to me every time I watch that eps. I just cry.

Absolutely. Something like this I imagine.

You can watch them prepare it. It doesn't look dead.

Why they don't just kill the animals instead of putting them through that is bewildering to me. Fucking idiots.

I've read that according to a recent study fish can actually feel pain. So yeah, that's pretty cruel.

There's also the japanese dish Ikizukuri that aims at keeping the nerve system of the fish intact so that it still twitches. It's arguable if it's still alive or dead.

People need to learn some species still move after being decapitated.

Poyunch · Jul 28, 2011

Pretty sure some species of fish and most species of insects don't feel pain. It's just that their bodies still react to stimulation. It's more physical than mental.

Well it's not really outdated since one study doesn't proof too much.

The thought of eating live animals is sick and cruel. Coming from a man with a lot of meat in his diet.

Kinyou said:

Proves more than no studies?

What an incredible assumption to think fish don't feel pain. You might as well say all toads are named Jerry.

What about the videos where they are not decapitated?

It's not just some hillbilly talk. There are scientific studies backing this up too:
"Fish do not have the brain development that is necessary for the psychological experience of pain or any other type of awareness"
Though after doing a bit more search there also seem to be more than just one study that states the opposite, so it's fair to say that either statements still need to be proven

Proves more than no studies?

From what I found with a quick google search, the sodium in the sauce could be activating the ion channels that trigger the escape reflex of the tentacles, which is why it moves when they pour the sauce over it. Since it doesn't have a head anymore, it's not feeling anything though.

somewhere out there, in your city, on your block--it may even be next door, some vegan is super angry that you eat so much meat 'all day everyday'.

I really do hope it is just a muscle reflex, like frog legs and lemon, but my rudimentary and in-no-way studied knowledge of cleaning calamari tells me that they are just removing the outer, hard mantle of the squid.

In the video I linked you can see them remove it. While leaving much of the innards intact. And then this image says the "brain" is lower.

I'll eat foi grais, and I eat boiled lobster (after shanking it in the brain) but Lord, what creature deserves to be eaten while alive?

According to them, the octopi are actually still alive - they even cut off it's arms with scissors at one point.

This thread certainly got depressing fast. At least there weren't any posts about shark fin soup. Now that's a downer.

Watching a parasite squirm around on the dish squicks me out WAAAYYY more than eating a frog heart, especially because those kind of worms tend to be REALLY bad news when eaten.
