"Nowadays, there are similar practices in Japanese, Korean, and Italian cuisine. It's not just fish, but beef too. However... without exception, they all bleed the meat during slaughter to prevent the blood from ruining the taste, unlike how you've served it without any processing."
"Actually, we did treat it," Ma Lu snapped his fingers, "but more talk is useless. You will know after you've tried."
"Then I'll trust you guys one more time."
