Yin Yang fish 陰陽魚 (also called dead-and-alive fish) 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]
The dish was invented by a restaurant owner in Chiayi who learned his trade in Sichuan.[2] Members of the public and one Chiayi city official condemned the practice.[3] A video shows diner jabbing at a fish's eyes and mouth with their chopsticks in order to prompt the fish to move, whose mouth and gills opened as it tried to breathe.[4] People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called one of the videos "disgusting".
