Heartbroken chef pulls household items out of fish's stomach

The jaw-dropping video of a chef pulling household items out of the stomach of a fish will leave you gasping.

Mexican chef Ricardo Muñoz Zurita is known for dissecting the ingredients of traditional recipes but nothing could prepare the experienced chef for what he found while he cut open this fish.

Chef Ricardo posted the video to his social media accounts that shows the horrifying impact of plastic in our ocean and on marine life.

The chef tweeted the minute long video that shows him pulling out what looks like four plastic bottle caps, part of a comb and other various pieces of rubbish.

The caption translates to “Please be aware of not using plastic and not littering in the sea, we are killing planet Earth, our home.”

Chef Ricardo hasn’t responded to people asking where the fish was caught but the disturbing video sends a clear message about where the litter in our oceans ends up.
