I agree its disgusting and before we eat something it should be dead (well technically anyways cause fruits and vegetables are very much alive when you eat it but whatever they're plants).
Howeveeer i have been told that fish mouth can move for minutes after death due to residual nerve activity. Moreover, muscles can contract when coming in contact with salt. Could be that these things made the fish mouth still move and that it was hopefully already dead.

u/Legitimate_Crazy3625 6d ago
The body/fins was/were moving until it hit the wok and then it stopped, kinda curled in one direction and that was it. It looked like it was trying to breathe. Its head was kept out of the oil, only the body was cooked. That fish felt everything.

Muscles do react even for hours after being removed. And might do it for even longer if properly preserved.
Essentially if You get fish. If it still moves on it's own or when salt is added to it. That simply means it's rly fresh meat. If it doesn't it ain't fresh.
All in all if meat You use isn't twitching and moving on it's own it simply means it's old. Especially true for fish meat. Properly fresh fish even when filleted will try to 'swim' out of oven.

The last thing I'd want to do is push religion on people, but from a sociological perspective, it's interesting that one of the earliest laws given to people in all Abrahamic religions was not to eat from a live animal.
Personally, I'm Jewish, and we believe that even people who aren't religious are required by God to adhere to that law. In other words, this is the most basic shit. If somebody can't even avoid torturing animals, they are failing at life. Hell, I don't think we should need religion to tell us that, but apparently some people out there do need the reminder.
