A woman was left with a fishy problem after she discovered the food she was about the prepare for an evening meal was still alive. Cindy Lao had bought a batch of fish for the freezer and had kept it on ice for almost 48 hours.
But as she set about cooking the family meal she realised the gills of the Crucian carp were still moving. And the fish escaped with its life after Cindy decided it had done enough to avoid the cooking pot.
Cindy's partner Paul Lewis-Borman told Gloucestershire Live how the planned meal fell apart with the discovery of the still breathing fish. He told how Cindy, from Cheltenham. was in London for Chinese New Year with her friends when she bought several sea bass and the carp from a fishmonger.
