Shop Accused Of Putting Googly Eyes On Fish To Make Them Look Fresher

A shop in Kuwait has been shut down over its fishy practices.

Authorities say the market put googly eyes on their fish to make them look fresher. A viral photo shows one of the googly eyes slipped off, which revealed a more natural yellow eye underneath.

Never judge the freshness of fish by the googliness of their eyes. https://t.co/hW50lwpwCz

According to a BBC report, rival fish sellers responded to the incident by advertising their fresh fish “without cosmetics.”
