Whats the purpose of this clip?
Japs are weird and cruel

Posted by: desireless Wed, 07 Feb 2007 1:58 am

The purpose of the show is probably to show some kind of a "WONDER".... that the fish can still stay alive even part of its meat has been eaten.

To the chef, it goes to show "oh how fresh my sushi is! "

Looking at the show there seems no sympathy for the poor fish seeing it's meat being eaten away or the pain it was undergoing. Japanese... always expect this kind of thing from them


Ya... looks like a ST (Siamese Tiger Fish)... ST is a kind of food fish in Thailand

"Japs are weird and cruel"

"Japanese... always expect this kind of thing from them"

Guys.

What is going on? : A little bit of Japan bashing on a website that "worships" Japanese goldfish. Come on.

Buffelrug. Maybe you are not aware, but Japs is a highly derogatory way of referring to Japanese people. You let yourself down by using it.

Hahaha... ironic isn't it?

That is sophisticated society by the way. But one must admit they do lots of things that awe the world. Like I said, expect them to do some unexpected stuffs (sometimes on the negative side).

I dont understand whats wrong with it. Dont we all eat fish....what wrong with eating something you hand picked, knowing its healthy & fresh.

Unlike going to MAC'ers and eating unhealthy processed meat.

Japanese people have high life expectancy and least depressed people in the world. All thanks to their diet. A society i admire a lot and there are many other statistics which other countries should look forward to.

Its only naive to point fingers and laugh at others.

Well, that's subjective. Some people find nothing wrong with the video.

I am a aquatic hobbyist and at the same time, I love to to eat fish and sushi. But I find having to eat the meat off a fish while it is still alive (and looking at you eating its flesh), an inhumane thing to do. There is no call to go to that extend to show customer that the sushi they are eating is fresh. The fish has been eaten off both sides of its flesh, why don't they just kill it?? The fish can't say it but I would think it is undergoing a painful torment.

PS: And I have watched horror movies like "SAW". Seeing yourself cutting your own limbs off is simply a sadistic thing to do.

Well I agree that's subjective and relative topic. You know for Asian we usually cook our fishes with the fish head still intact and I am surprise to realize that to the westerners it's offensive and prohibitive. I have friends telling me it's barbaric and uncivilize having the fish eyes staring at you while you enjoying its meat. Imagine some of us even goug and eat into the eyes.
Next time while eating the fish, stare hard at the fish eyes and see whether you still have the appitite.

Oh and by the way, it's not a Tiger fish, it is a saltwater food fish here in Japan. I think it's called "Ishidai".

Wow... It has more than 90% resemblance to a ST!! There's even a strip at the eye. The pelvic fins looks different though

A ST


Ishidai
(Of course as the meat on both sides have been eaten away, we can't compare the strips )



Goh, maybe you show your friends this clip one of these days?? The fish is staring at you... but this time... it is alive.

Almost similar.....but not quite!

Posted by: ball Wed, 07 Feb 2007 11:52 pm

Wonder if they eat TVR or Tosakin raw too.

Posted by: desireless Thu, 08 Feb 2007 12:37 am

ISHIDAI:
http://www.kyouiku.nrc.gamagori.aichi.jp/fish/ishidai.html


Maybe it is ST's cousin living in the sea

If you cook TVR or Tosakin in curry, it might taste the same as curry fish head But it is how you eat it... point is... don't eat part of it, then throw the poor fish back into the water and let it die of pain... watching you eat its flesh in curry and say "your meat taste fresh and yummy".

Posted by: gohks Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:45 am

Question is whether the fish will die or not, maybe the flesh will grow back So the Jap rather killing it, gives it a chance to live on

Posted by: ball Fri, 09 Feb 2007 11:51 pm

Cut out the flesh, eat it, and then let it grow back, and then cut out and eat again and the cycle just goes on.
Ultimate liao.
Worst than 18 level of hell

Ball, I think that is the interpretation of the video. I wonder why Japs are not doing it to whales. That way they could have their meat without the extinction of some whale species.

In Japanese Culture, "Time" is very important and it really matters, just for example the Sushi... they dont even have time to cook, they eat it fresh.. to save the time...

hehehe

Torture of aquatic life,whether to inject neon dye in their skin,tattooed fish, the "sweetheart "parrot fish that are literally cut alive into a heart shape,partially filleting a living fish, are indicative of a bigger problem.Disrespect of our fellow creatures ,exploiting them for profit and entertainment..Consuming seafood for nourishment humanely,sustaining stock by farming them responsibly,and thanking our creator for providing the bounty.This is the approach most of us support.Instead of condemning entire countries/peoples as barbaric.Ban the offensive products,boycott,protest,when they lose money they listen.-Donielle

This video is absolutely disgusting. I hate it and I hate some of the responses it has engendered from some posters towards the Japanese people.

This'd never happen in the UK, sure some idiots in the UK go hunting which is shameful, but at least the poor creature isn't left mutilated but alive as a kind of oddity. Someone obviously thought it cute to video it.
If this guy lived in the UK he'd have to stop, the authorities would stop him or someone would trash his sushi bar.

Shameful.

The Japanese go Like This:

TVR,Tosakins and ryukins: Damn good quality

People: Eating fish fresh from the aquarium and killed in front of the customer for "extra freshness".
