SHOCKING film of a dining craze where a part-fried fish is eaten ALIVE is sweeping the internet.
The carp's body is cooked - but its head is wrapped in a wet cloth to keep it breathing.
WARNING - VIDEO MAY UPSET VIEWERS
It is then covered in sauce and served wriggling on a plate in restaurants.
Animal rights group Peta blasted the "disgraceful" video, which has had more than 120,000 views on YouTube in a week.
A spokesperson said: "Every decent person should be shocked when anyone mocks or abuses a helpless dying animal."
The Chinese have been criticised in the past for their extreme eating habits.
Reports have claimed some restaurants offer monkey's brains.
Other dishes include rats, dogs, snakes, lizards and baby mice.
