If you ever go to China, try drunken shrimp. A bowl of live shrimp slowly drowning in a strong alcohol broth. Nothing like live shrimp to eat!

Not that I ever did - I prefer my food to at least be dead...

That sounds very much like a now-illegal French dish involving a small, live bird which is forced to drink something alcoholic, brandy I believe. Not something that I’d want to order at a restaurant anyhow.

This is also done with lobster.

They rip the tail from a live lobster, cut the tail meat for sashimi, put it back in the shell and reattach the tail to the lobster downside up.

The tail shell becomes the bowl and the carapace is still alive and part of the meals decor.
