What is eating carp alive? Is it healthy?

Eating crucian carp alive is a famous Shandong dish and a special cooking method, which makes diners feel that fish is more delicious. This kind of practice often makes the fish look alive after being served, and the mouth and tail can still move.

I think it is unhealthy to eat carp alive.

In fact, in order to keep the fish fresh, the cooking time is shorter than usual, and the fish is still half-cooked. However, there are parasites in some fish, and it is not enough to kill these parasites by undercooking. Therefore, eating this way can easily cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and even more serious symptoms.

Moreover, due to the short cooking time, protein and other components in fish are not completely decomposed. The soup will not be well immersed in the received fish, which is not only bad in taste but also difficult to digest and absorb.

So this way of eating is very unhealthy.
