Instant Fish Suppers
An ingenious deep-fat fryer in Japan, where the boiling oil floats on top of the water of a functioning fish tank. The fish are fed by gobs of batter dropping through to the water, which in turn keeps the oil clean.
I think I’m obligated to wonder how long fish could survive if such a set up was implemented in Edinburgh. Crumbs of deep fried pizza and Mars Bars surely aren’t good for Goldfish?
(Also, smarter commentators than me point out that this whole set up is probably just to demonstrate some fancy type of cooking oil that won’t explode when it comes into contact with water. But, really, where’s the fun in thinking like that?)

I get a weird feeling of nausea looking at this picture - I don’t know why.

I think if you’ve got to the point of thinking “I’d like a fish supper” then you’ve probably gone well past the point of caring about the quality, chemical makeup, poo content or ethical ramifications of your food.
As for the poor fish, well, yes I doubt it’s that healthy for them, but if anything is going to convince them to develop opposable thumbs then this is it.
