Dancing Squid

Its dead... and it dances O.o 






This dish is called:Ika odiri don common in Hakodate.
BUT. 
I find this dish to be completely bizarre, I'm no where near used to my entree being able to start dancing or to run off my plate. Though i understand how this works its still something different to say the least. Its all due to the soy sauce and its high sodium content. The sodium ions create a cell voltage differences. Because the squid is served fresh, the cells inside the squid are still active and when the soy sauce is poured on to it, the signals cross and the nerves are temporarily reactivated causing the squid to move or in this case dance.
