Is red-billed slice a dead fish?

Red-billed flounder is a kind of deep-sea fish, which lives in unpolluted deep-water ocean and is mainly distributed in the western North Pacific Ocean and the waters near Nan 'ao Island in Guangdong Province. It is a precious fish with high nutritional value, and the belly of the red-billed flounder is a fine fish.

Because red-billed flounder is rare, the market price is extremely high. In August, 2009, a hotel in Beijing marked that the price of a pair of red-billed sole bellies was RMB 380,000, and the fish was also sold at RMB 698 per catty.
