A group of people in Vietnam sat down to a fish supper with a difference — the fish were still alive!<br /><br />The disturbingly fresh dish is occasionally eaten by certain ethnic groups in northern Vietnam. This group was in dining in Son La Province.<br /><br />It’s called ‘Cá Nhảy’ in Vietnamese, or ‘jumping fish’ in English. Before eating, the fish is put in a bowl of ingredients including vegetables like banana flowers, herbs, chilli, scallions and bamboo shoots.<br /><br />The fish are kept in a clean water tank before eating, with the idea it cleans their intestines.<br /><br />While some eat it, many Vietnamese people, and many foreigners, are uncomfortable with the idea of this dish.
