The trick is to cut the fish without killing him. The animal is served with the exposed heart and hitting, gills working, struggling to breathe and slowly dying. An even more cruel variation of the dish is the Yin Yang Fish, the Chinese, which is to dip a fish in hot oil to fry it alive - and suffer in the process.
