Store Busted For Putting Googly Eyes On Fish So They’d Appear Fresh

According to Kuwait-based, Al Bayan, a local shop was caught placing googly eyes on fish to help them appear fresher than they were. We’d like to think that the store was just trying to add some much-needed comic relief to a boring seafood counter.

However, it appears that the store was in fact using googlies to sell fish — which definitely goes against the googly code and everything that googlies stand for. Shame.

Kuwaiti police has shut down a fish store that was sticking googly eyes on fish to make them appear more fresh than they are. 🙂

Incredibly Realistic Animal Lollipops Might Be Too Beautiful To Lick

Following a centuries-old candy-making tradition called Amezaiku, Shinri Tezuka creates hyperrealistic sculptures of fish, frogs and other aquatic life.

The lollies are made by hand with sugar syrup, starch, and organic coloring — so they’re as edible as they are fun to look at. Check out more of Tezuka’s work here.

Whole Fish Sushi Exists

When small intricately-cut pieces of fish in your sushi just won’t do, there’s now a trend of whole-fish sushi going on in Japan.

Referred to as iwashi, the Japanese word for sardine, the sushi roll is being offered by Japanese restaurant chain, Kurazushi, and contains the whole fish wrapped in rice and seaweed, with Japanese basil and grated plum.

Sushi etiquette has yet to include the proper technique for eating a sushi roll with the head and tail intact. Our guess is to flip a coin and dive in.

The Yolkfish Will Adorably Separate Your Eggs

Separating an egg yolk from the white can be a tricky process — with the cracking and the back and forth action. That of course, was before the Yolkfish.

Just give the Yolkfish a squeeze, let it wrap its big fish mouth around a yolk, and then it’ll adorably regurgitate the yolk into a different bowl. The Yolkfish is new at The Foodiggity Shop.

Watch the little sucker in action…
