I am not a Vegetarian, but I do eat fish. People are sometimes confused by this. It is not uncommon to hear a person of the Vegetarian persuasion say that they wont eat anything with a face. I however, prefer food with faces. If I had my way I would just eat the face. Recently I had an unpleasant encounter with a large Sockeye salmon. This particular salmon was faceless and its lifeless body flipped and flopped as I carried it to the auxiliary freezer.
I have heard of sushi restaurants that serve live shrimp. The shrimp are stripped of their shells and it is the duty of patron to bite off the shrimp's head and kill it. This is the most noble way to eat an animal. To kill it with your own jaws. To acknowledge that this creature has given its life for your benefit. If I were a shrimp, that's how I'd want to go.
