Eel Soup Disturbing Video New ((hot)) < Full >
A smaller, vocal minority argues that the video is likely taken out of context. They claim that in some East Asian cuisines, "live" preparations (like Sannakji —live octopus in Korea) are traditional. However, most defenders admit that soup is different. The boiling broth is meant to kill the animal instantly. If the eels are moving in the bowl , it implies the broth was not hot enough—a potential health crisis (parasites, bacteria) rather than a cultural practice.
