Taiwanese fish dish
Yin yang fish (Chinese: 陰陽魚, 糖醋活魚, 呼叫魚; also called dead-and-alive fish) is a Taiwanese dish where a live fish is fried whole. The dish originates from Chiayi, Taiwan.[1][2]
Yin yang fish is prepared by wrapping the head of a scaled fish (usually carp) in ice cubes and then oil-frying it whole. The fish is then covered in sauce and served on a plate where its head continues to twitch even after its body has been cooked (likely due to remnant electrical impulses after death).[2][3][4][5]
In 2007, a Taiwanese restaurant owner sparked outrage when he began serving the dish in his restaurant in Chiayi, Taiwan, with a city official and members of the public criticizing the cruelty of the dish.[6] Following public outcry, the dish was subsequently removed from the menu and banned in Taiwan.[7][2]
A video of a dish in 2009 was condemned by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calling a video showcasing it as “disgusting”.[8] A video posted on TikTok in March 2020 had been viewed three million times as of May 2021.[9]
