OMG how freaky!



and there's a 2nd video too



Why would one make TEA with FISH?

Tea means evening dinner in the UK, not the drink.

OHHH! Thanks! and here I thought I was an absolute Anglomaniac

If that happened to me I would totally freak out.

"Jules? Da fish is movin' bu' it's dead. Arrright."

Gotta love that accent



That video is good, although I'm left questioning why this group of men are spending their Saturday night pouring salt on frog legs?

"Hey Tony, you coming round tonight for a few beerski's?"
"Oh I dunno man, the wife is giving me grief."
"Oh maaaaan! I even went and got us some frog legs."
"What!? Do you have any salt?"
"Of course."
"I'll be round in ten minutes!"
"Awesooooooooome."

Maybe ... To eat them!?....The freak show it's not the primary objective.
It looks kinda obvious IMHO.
Frog legs are a exquisite delicacy for many people.

I would have fainted then and there!

A couple years ago my husband came home after fishing. The fish he brought home was completely gutted but was still flopping around.

I was in tears thinking it was suffering and begged my husband to kill it. He assured me it was as dead as a doornail and what I was seeing was simply the nerves dying.

I'm guessing the lemon made the fish in the video 'come back to life?' If the salt did it to the frog legs, perhaps the lemons in the video were used and the acid created the same reaction?

This inspires me.

Hmm, remote controlled nanites with electrolytes and electrical charges. Inject the nanites into fresh corpses and eureka, zombies.

COBRA zombies!!!

Damn, meat-eaters! Let's all go vegan for once!

-Is eating meat is not Kosher altogether?
-Is eating nerves from dead meat is bad for our nerves?

LMAO... I don't think I could eat it after all that. As a matter of fact, I don't think I would eat fish ever again, regardless of the fact that salt and lemon causes that to happen. Just too freaky HaHa!

I saw the title 'Zombie fish" and thought this thread was going to be rest of my time, but I am glad I clicked on it. Because, sir/ma'am I am know eating my words because that videos freaked me out! There would be no way I would eat that.

LOL, I'm with Ashley, teary and horrified!

That really was freaky, nightmares are coming....

Freaky stuff indeed!

That reminded me if being a youngster and pulling legs off daddy-long-legs and watching the leg bounce around.

the following story is true


I boarded a horse a lot of years ago with this Lady she had two acres and picked up a little money by boarding one or two horses

she had lots of poultry running around ,so many in fact that it got to the point that the entire property was almost completely covered in fowl

turkeys, chickens ,ducks, geese, peacocks .she had them all anyway I got sick of it and convinced her to butcher a large portion of them and she would only do it if I helped

so we set up a butchering station in the backyard and her preferred method of killing was Hit it in the head with a hammer and slit it's throat

well we were killing and plucking and gutting along when one of the ducks in the dead pile walked by quacking

so she killed it again ,sure enough some time later it walks by quacking she kills it again this happened 4 times

the forth time this Dead Duck got up and started walking and quacking ,I said "I dunno Ursala,I think if I were you I'd hang garlic in my window tonite"

She said "you know ,I was just thinking the same thing"

so I guess if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck doesn't mean it isn't a zombie

No different than when I was a kid and you'd cut a chicken's head off and it would run around for a few minutes. As an avid fisherman I frequently have twitching filets. Some sort of catalyst allows energy to hit the nerves make it wiggle.

Go vegan? you mean go insane. I can understand vegatarian, some people dont like meat or think its cruel to kill animals ect ect. But why, and i am serious, would you be opposed to drinking milk from a cow, who has to be milked anyway? Should we milk them then just pour the product down the drain? Wh would you be opposed to eating unfertilised chicken eggs? Should we just through them at the meat eaters instead? Answer these questions with a decent response and i will go vegan myself!

Actually Ashley, I'm sure it's absolutely no comfort to you, but those fish were, in fact, still alive. Skinned, headed, and gutted, they were still very much alive. Same with those frog legs and the... what is that, cod?

They have a very slow metabolism. This means it takes them a while to die; their cells don't consume as much oxygen, so it takes them a lot longer to die of blood loss or shock. Also many simpler vertebrates - fish and amphibians - don't really need a brain; the spinal cord handles most of the basic functions almost as well. So the body can react to stimulus even without a brain there.

Ever heard a story of someone getting bitten by a severed snake head? Same thing there. Reptiles have a similarly slow metabolism. However, their bodies are more reliant on the brain; cut off a snake's head and its body will write and flop for a little while, but will go still as it receives no new brain impulses. it's still alive, just brain-dead. On the other hand, its head is still very much aware, and WILL defend itself. Depending on the species and size of the critter in question, it can take up to an hour for the head to finally die; larger snakes such as boas take a long time.

Yay, biology is creepy!

Oh, that was nasty!

I don't think I will ever eat fish, again after that!

I can remember being maybe 5 or 6... I do believe its my oldest memory.... my sweet little great grandma making frog legs and saying " come here and watch em jump and swim in the pan".... I did... and was horrified. Disembodied frog appendages dancing in hot grease. The stuff that makes nightmares and induces years of therapy. In actuality I did cry and my mother yelled at grandmama. LOL!


Later on in life Ive wondered how many times Ive eaten frog and they told me it was a chicken leg! These were big ol Louisiana frogs..big like a frying chicken.

I find the videos to be more scientifically interesting than gross.

Regarding the frog leg video with the salt, I remember learning that salt contains electrolytes.

I also remember the word catalase.

Science and Biology definitely is pretty cool at times.
