I heard this, is it true?

I have heard of the Japanese doing this with Sake I think its supposed to relax the fish so that when you dispatch the fish with your knife and fillet imediatly it keeps the nerves from reacting and toughening the fish don't know if it works but ya don't need the booze if ya know how to fry the fish properly at the correct temp the fish cooks up tender and has a nice crunch of the crust
