SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento restaurant agreed to stop serving live shrimp after an animal-rights group said the practice was cruel to the shellfish.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the restaurant, Nishiki Sushi, suggested squeezing lemon juice on the shrimps' exposed flesh so they would writhe as they were eaten. The dish is commonly referred to as "dancing shrimp" and is considered a delicacy in Japan.
PETA contacted the restaurant after receiving dozens of complaints about the practice.

Since you couldn't pay me to eat what I consider to be water-living insects like shrimp, I am appalled that people are eating them while they're still alive and "writhing" on their fork from being sprayed with the acid that is lemon juice. "Don't Taze Me, Man!"
PETA, as usual, is correct to protest.
