Disgusting. Please tell me that's not a common thing in Japanese restaurants

It's not! Never seen this before.
It's kind of common to get served a fish like in the OP though. But you can see that it's dead, and doesn't start moving until they put salt on it, seconds before serving it to you.

Sometimes GAF's lack of knowledge of anything Asian is astounding.
Not hard when it's AMERICA all over the forum.
Those mashup videos though, hahahahah.
I don't know whether this is disgusting or interesting. That poor fish though.
That's just cruel.
No, not common. That's why someone made a video.
The whole fish filleted out as sashimi and still twitching is pretty common though.

What the fuck. Why?
This probably tastes amazing but I don't think I can handle eating something while it's staring at me and blinking while trying to get away.

Or the crows that peck out toad's livers so then they explode.For a more natural equivalent, cookiecutter shark bites:
That shark just bites a chunk out and swims away, the target usually survives.
Also bites humans and rubber-covered machinery like sonar probes and cables.
Hungry crows may be behind exploding toads
That actually looks delicious, & that's coming from someone who has never had octopus.
Maybe it's the presentation..?

Is the fish/frog/whatever really going to taste any different if you just killed it 5 seconds before instead of serving it half alive? What's the point of it all? Freshness OK I get, but I don't see how it tastes any different if the chef kills the fish/frog/whatever just seconds before hand rather than serving alive.
Must be something other than taste.

Yep, didn't come into this topic expecting to see something like that AT ALL.
Someone should put "Rules of Nature" in the background.

Asia's a big, big place with a lot of different types of cuisines, man. Seafood doesn't even come close to 50% of what Asian cuisine consists of.
Coming into this thread and saying "omg Asian food is so gross, I could never live in Asia" is like going into a thread about fried butter and saying "omg all American food is so gross, wtf do they eat there???" Every country and culture has its own freaky-deaky super-niche dish, but they ain't the only thing people there eat, man.
I like how the video says "live" but the chef rips out all its guts. Muscles and nerves are a crazy thing.

The worst part of the frog video is not the fact that it' severed upper body is staring at you blinking while you're eating it...it's that frogs are vertebrate, and have the same pain sensation and nerves as us humans. So yeah, it's feeling it.
I wish there was a complete ban on this "shock food" nonsense. There is no point in keeping the animal alive other than purely a gimmick to make money. It's beyond cruel and disgusting.

A human can sometimes survive disembowelment for at least a few minutes.

That frog video is just straight up awful IMO.
I hate it when you are served part of an animal as a sort of trophy. Like getting a whole lobster and they leave the decapitated head on your plate. Ugh man.

take a drink and eat yr fish
definitely something a slimy frog would say.
It's just disgusting theater, perhaps with bullshit mitigation pretending that it does taste better.

Oh, is that good?
You like that, huh?
Well, I'm so fucking glad you're enjoying my body.
The one that I was using 15 minutes ago.
Does the flesh of mine that I am watching you eat get a fucking thumbs up?
Are you sure? Because you weren't sure for a second.
I'd hate to, you know, have displeased you.
I mean, because I could have had kept living, you know, like... If you hadn't been so curious.
Curious about what it's like to make me watch you eat me alive, and make a fucking frowny face while you do it.
Before deciding that you guess I'm pretty good after all.
Well, I guess I'll just sit here on my own guts and watch myself disappear into your face.
Try me in soy sauce.
Maybe I'll dance around.

I never thought of it as a trophy and frankly, you can eat some of whats in the lobster's head just like you can a crab. It's really not that crazy.
Well, it's... common enough to have a specific name ("ikizukuri" or "ikezukuri", both are used).
