A woman has shared her incredible experience after purchasing a fish for dinner, freezing it for 48 hours then discovering it was still alive just before she planned to serve it.
Cindy Iao visited her fishmonger and set about preparing her batch buy of fish for the freezer. But was later shocked to discover the gills of the Crucian carp were still moving after nearly 48 hours on ice. Knowing the fish had so far defied the odds of survival, she and her partner sprang into action, ran a bath of water which is where the carp would live for the next two weeks, reports Gloucestershire Live.
Cindy from Cheltenham was in London for Chinese New Year with her friends. On her last day away, in the afternoon, she visited a fishmonger in Greenford and bought several sea bass and Crucian carp, which are believed to have come from the wholesalers the same morning.
