After the first gasp, I couldn't watch any more

Not advocating it, but even when you decapitate some fish, they will continue to twitch or open and close their mouths. Eels are particularly bad for this - I've filletted eel, and the individual portions (2" x 5") would twitch even after 30 minutes after the fish was killed.

I once watched a carp head do that for well over 3 hours when I worked at a fish market. Just the head, cut away from the body.

All that being said, sushi is best the fresher it is. Although, the animal should be dead (killed quickly) before preparing as the flesh declines in quality if the fish struggles or suffers before dying.

I have seen things like this before, they actually fillet them while still alive. Very wrong... How would we all feel having that done to us!!!

If you eat sushi (I DON'T) that is ok, but put the poor thing out of its misery.

One poster is correct, some fish can twitch/gasp even after death, but I don't think this is the case here. My family are mostly all commercial fishermen and I grew up around alot of fish, torture is JUST WRONG!!!

I saw a news clip about the sushi chief discovering how to paralyze a fish and fillet it alive. Could not watch it happen.

Shame on you for posting that in a reefkeeper forum.
Come on now, if i knew where you lived id cut your tank power from the street.
Do you have no shame?

Kind of harsh don't you think? Cutting hisn power off would cause the fish to die a slow and painful death so you are no better.

If we would really be so good to our fish we would Not keep it in the glass box to begin with.

When we buy anything that is worm blooded from LFS we are just as same,

When we buy a dog and cut its ears off or a tail (because it looks better that way), we are just as same, How about removing cat's claws? how would that feel.
lets face it, we the people, we don't realize what we do, and most of it is for profit or entertainment.
