Why don't seafood restaurants keep their fish alive in tanks?
This question was originally posted on Quora.com. I can think of the following reasons. 1. Inferior taste Fish in the fish tank actually taste worse. 2. Size Some fish is just too big to keep in a tank. 3. Technically challenging (to keep the fish alive in a tank) Keeping fish alive isn’t what the restaurant staff is trained to do. 4. Cost Simply it costs too much 5. Inhumane Not everyone is comfortable with eating live fish. 6. It would take too long If the fish were too big
