Fish broth is a liquid that is made by simmering fish bones, heads, tails, and sometimes other seafood like shrimp or crab shells, in water with herbs for a long period of time. The resulting broth is extremely rich and flavourful and is often used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. Fish broth is typically cooked in a large pot as it holds all the ingredients well and allows them to cook properly. However, a video that has gone viral on the internet shows a woman cooking fish broth in a plastic bag. Yes, you heard us. Her unique cooking style has left netizens puzzled.

A Twitter user named @TheFigen_ took to the micro-blogging platform to share the now-viral video. In the clip, we can see an elderly woman placing a plastic bag full of water on top of a wood fire. She then starts adding different ingredients into the water. She also adds fish, chillies, cucumber and salt. "Elementary physics," read the caption of the tweet. It was surprising to see that the heat had no effect on the plastic bag. Take a look at the full video here:

A third person commented, "Most unappetising and off-putting way of cooking I've ever seen. And probably very unhealthy as well. Why not just get a pot like most normal people."
