      Have seen a video of a chef/cook preparing a fish like this.
      Not knowing how the fish’s nervous system works, hard to imagine how the fish “feels.”
      The choice of background music in the TikTok video has these lyrics:
      Life, it’s like this
      Always pursuing, never stop hustling
      Even if bruised all over
      Still you want it live it your way

        The fish hurts.

          The physical pain or feelings of the fish are of secondary consideration in my mind to concern over who would even think of doing it and why… And then why people would find it enjoyable or even interesting to order and try…

            Safe to say that disgust reflexes differ between people, and there's a large bit of cultural programming in the mix.

            Education is extremely important.

              Seems pretty obvious that pain sensation co-evolved with locomotion.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      @George-K

                      After eating up to 80% of its body weight in one meal,[39] it drags itself to a sunny location to speed digestion, as the food could rot and poison the dragon if left undigested in its stomach for too long. Because of their slow metabolism, large dragons can survive on as few as 12 meals a year.[27] After digestion, the Komodo dragon regurgitates a mass of horns, hair, and teeth known as the gastric pellet, which is covered in malodorous mucus. After regurgitating the gastric pellet, it rubs its face in the dirt or on bushes to get rid of the mucus.

                      And this:

                      Occasionally, they attack and bite humans. Sometimes they consume human corpses, digging up bodies from shallow graves.[33] This habit of raiding graves caused the villagers of Komodo to move their graves from sandy to clay ground, and pile rocks on top of them, to deter the lizards.
