I'm not all that shocked by this, in Asia, freshness is a major part of culinary culture, and you don't get much fresher than a live fish killed on the spot.

When my father was doing business in China he went to a sushi restaurant where they would chop up the fish and serve you the whole thing.  The head, tail and fins were still moving, so the fried carp just seems a natural progression of that.  I don't know how he did it, I doubt that I could sit there and eat a fish that was sitting there moving, looking like it was alive.  I don't really like fish much to begin with.  I can eat Fish'n'Chips, and that's about it.
