Exotic food, is it alive?

Travelling on an Asian flight our chosen dish was moving! It turned out to be Katsuobushi, a preparation of dried, fermented and smoked skipjack tuna, also known as bonito. When the flakes are added as a topping to a hot dish, the steam has the effect of making the flakes move as if dancing; because of this, katsuobushi topping is also known as dancing fish flakes. Its high inosinic acid content is actually very healthy. watch video
