One of the reasons I went back to being a vegetarian (and then became vegan) was a video of something like this. I was so creeped out. I haven't gone back.
It may have been this: "Adding salt to freshly cut muscle causes it to spasm." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCeA72UFg3Q

It's dead.
It wasn't always dead. It was caught, killed, and its brain was removed. And then its corpse was made to flail about wildly in a bowl. I find it, if even only the last part, creepy.

Once the animal is dead, I don't see how there's any cruelty involved. You are welcome to find it creepy, or object to the killing of the animal in the first place, but it's certainly not feeling pain by having its corpse being made to dance around.

If you watched the video they explain that the animal’s brain has already been removed, so anything after that is not felt by the squid.
I can see why it messes with our intuitions, though. Most of the other animals we eat don't flop around like that unless they're still alive and in distress. Except the occasional headless chicken. Chickens are weird.
