There’s A Reason It’s Called Chinatown

Yummy!

I took this photo last night in Chinatown, NYC. ‘What am I looking at, Commodore,’ you ask? You are looking at dead fish. Dead fish that are floating at the bottom of a tank in a display window at a restaurant that wants to show you the fresh food you will get to eat when you enter their establishment.

Mmm, look honey! Those fish have been dead so long that their SCALES ARE FLAKING.

The bodies of the fish would gently rock forwards and backwards like a dead body would in the surf at the shores of a large lake.

Funny thing is, Chinatown in New York City is not much different from a real city in China. Therefore, people don’t care if that was a rotting, rabies infested rat carcass in formaldehyde in that display window. If it’s edible, it’s apparently a reasonable idea to serve it for dinner!

WTF!
