http://www.asiafoodrecipe.com Like your food fresh? Ikizukuri is the preparation of sashimi made from live seafood. The most popular sea animal used in ikizukuri is fish but octopus, shrimp, and lobster may also be used. The most controversial part of this Japanese practice is the fact that the animal continues to move after death.

The chef will take the fish or shellfish to be served out from its fish tank after rising it and then filet and sliced up in such a manner so as to prepare sashimi from it, but without killing the animal itself immediately. The animal is still alive, I'd imagine, though briefly and is then served on a plate as decoration to the sashimi made from its own flesh.

Yes imagine this. The fish wasn't just raw, it was still alive!!!
While the flesh was neatly cut in slices of Sashimi, the head was still moving!

These dishes shown in Chiba, Japan are Ikezukuri, or live fish, whereas Sashimi is the eating of raw fish. With over 50% of dislikes, viewers reacted angrily upon seeing the video. "don't eat meat numbnuts. It's nothing to do with culture, it's animal cruelty that serves no purpose whatsoever. That's barbarism." or "They might as wellname this dish "You Bastard".

While eat it while it is still alive? Well, according to Japanese, when it comes to sashimi (raw fish), freshness is key, and no sashimi is fresher than ikezukuri, which is cut from a live fish and served quivering.

Often, the fish is quickly "reassembled" after it has been carved alive, and served as a gruesome parody of its former self. Vital organs are often left intact, so the fish may still be alive by the time the diner has finished eating it.
