I saw a chinese restaurant on tv and they show how they cook food on the table infront of the customers. They cook fish alive on a pan infront of the customers. I wonder how it taste if it was cooked alive? Will it taste thesame like a dead fish cooked? I expect it to be more delicious because it was cooked alive. What do you think?

I don't see why being cooked alive would make it taste any better.
in most cases I would consider live cooking to be extremely cruel, apart from those animals that don't have a single point in the body where the nervous system is centered. in which case, a shock temparature change will probably kill them quicker and more humanely than a blow to any part of the body.
this is done by removing them from cold storage, where they start to reach a hibernation like state, and straight into a pan of already boiling water.
but a fish has a centralised brain. it would be most humanely killed by a blow to the head or removal of the head.
the way you say ON a pan rather than IN a pan leads me to think that you mean in a frying pan, rather than in a pan of boiling water. which sounds utterly barbaric.
is cruelty supposed to make things taste better then? if you believe such a thing then you should be ashamed of yourself.
