Here we go again with weirdness manifest. This one sounds so fishy it must be true. Seems a Kuwaiti fishmonger was busted covering the dull, been-dead-too-long eyes of whole fish with dime store googly eyes. He then proudly displayed the ostensibly refreshed fish on ice, albeit behind glass. The long-dead fish suddenly looked ready to flap. Thence, a seafood of waning salability suddenly jumped toward the eyes of arriving customers, eliciting jacked-up prices.

Keep in mind most of the world’s retail fish purchasers select whole fish, in the round.
