Gutted headless fish still moves.

Just talked to a buddy of mine about that video -

Him: that shit happens sometimes, give the nerves something to conduct with and they flip the fuck out even though there's no command
frog legs will do the same thing

Me: residual energy left from what's left in the bloodstream?

Him: somewhat
the salt acts as an electrolyte and the stored energy in the nerves dumps when the ions filter through the muscle tissue

I didn't look it up, but he's usually right.
 
Yeah that's creepy. D: Didn't look at the site very closely but it looks more like an eel than a typical fish.
 
And the fucker who shot the video still probably ended up eating them. After seeing that shit I'm over it. If I see some shit like that I'm going to In-N-Out thank you.

What a pathetic weakling you are. You can't stomach the reality of death, so you let others do it for you. Once your food is packaged up nice and neat, you don't have to worry about how that cow was slaughtered for your pretty little In-N-Out burger, do you QueBert? Pathetic. Everyone knows this.

This allows modern society to run.
 
The lemons/salt/seasoning combination somehow stimulated the nerves to trigger action potentials to the muscles to trigger them to contract. If the muscles had enough energy stores of atp or metabolites to drive for the various atp-producing cycles they contract under the stimulation of the neurones. Hence the movement. Usually I found that beheaded fish spasm faster than the video.

More interesting is the time between death/beheading and the actual movement. I'd have thought by the time you get the fish ready to cook that the neurones would be dead and energy stores depleted. Neurones suffer severe damage under hypoxic conditions in minutes in humans.

Oh were the fish skinned? I can't tell from the video.

Pretty crazy. When I fillet fish they stop moving once both flanks are off them but they do move with one still attached before I flip them over..

Off the top of my head that's most likely due to severing the nerves when cutting the flank, so even if you were to stimulate one nerve it would act on only a small area than for the sake of argument the spine and a larger associated area.
