The reaction to the video from the tavern in Karpathos.

Shared on platforms like TikTok, the scandalous footage shows kitchen workers boning and frying fish that appear to be sparring.

“This is how we grind fresh fish here in Karpathos. Spartans of the hour,” sounds. “It’s not floured on its own, it’s fried on its own,” he comments a little later as the fish is put into the pan.

According to ERT, a complaint about the tortured killing of an animal has already been filed with the police station, and the tavern has reportedly “blocked” the ability to post reviews on its Trip Advisor page.
