Okay, so the post title may be a little over the top, but when you watch this video it may not seem so sensationalistic. These very dead, gutted & skinned dogfish fillets caught Youtube user TheSilvercarmel by surprise when they started flopping wildly while she was making dinner. I could go on discussing how weird and creepy this is, but really the video speaks for itself.

This apparently went on for approximately an hour, when TheSilvercarmel’s husband put the zombie fish down for good. (For those of you interested in more zombie dogfish action, there is a second clip available here for your viewing pleasure.)

On a semi-related note, apparently sprinkling salt on freshly skinned frog legs causes a similarly creepy reaction. I don’t know if the two phenomena are related, but just incase you still haven’t got your fill of twitching carrion, this is an excellent example of dancing frog legs.
