@Jesse, How does not wanting to torture a fish so you can see it's head flopping around while you eat it make you a pussy?
The fact is, this is completely unnecessary. There is NO WAY that it would make a difference in freshness or texture, or any other sensory difference, if the fish was alive or dead. It takes all but two seconds to kill it before you start chopping it up. In fact, it's probably hard to fillet while it's alive, so you'd save in preparation time and be done quicker, hence a fresher fish.
Stupid shit.
To clarify, I am in no way a vegetarian but I prefer if we could kill our food as quick and painlessly as possible. This is just ludicrous.
