Finding Nemo… Delicious

I am at a five-star resort looking at the live fish tanks at their Chinese restaurant. All types of fish are on display, and I am commenting to my friend while our waiter is nearby.

Me: “Look at these fish; they’re so cute. How can you even eat them?”

Waiter: “Two ways, ma’am: either steamed or fried.”

I think maybe this was a translation issue, but I got my answer!
