Yin Yang fish 陰陽魚 (also called dead-and-alive fish) in Chinese cuisine is a dish which consists of a deep-fried whole fish (usually carp) that remains alive after cooking. The fish's body is cooked while its head is wrapped in a wet cloth to keep it breathing. The fish is then covered in sauce and served live on a plate.[1]
Originating in Sichuan, the practice has spread to Taiwan, having also received criticism for cruelty inflicted on the fish. On 8 July 2008, Taipei members of the public and a government official criticized a Taiwanese chef for serving a dish that included a deep-fried fish with its head still twitching. The chef served the carp with its body deep-fried and covered with sweet and sour sauce. [2] A video in China shows diner jabbing at a fish's eyes and mouth with their chopsticks in order to prompt the fish to move; the mouth and gills opened, and it was seen trying to breathe.[3] People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have called one of the videos "disgusting".
