Eating a Tuna Eyeball

My father told me tales of my great grandmother eating raw sheep eyes. I dont find this gross at all, it kinds look like squids and I just love the taste of squids.

Baby squid salads are the best.

I don’t know that I think it’s gross. I would probably try it, though I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

Seeing other people eating other parts of animals doesn’t gross me out. But I don’t eat anything out of the ordinary, just because I tend to start thinking about it too much, and that grosses me out. :\

I remember eating fish eyes in the Philippines. They were always panfried, till crispy.

I’m happy I’m a vegetarian. Blech.

let me describe it…had it a few times when i was a kid, growing up in southeast asia….

it is definitely fatty in a fishy, smelly way. my mom used to cook it in strong vinegar and soy sauce. add in some onions and ginger (to keep the smell bearable). basically jello-like, some parts with fish meat still clinging to it and definitely very juicy.

won’t eat it now though. balut…now that’s different.

Monkey_Town, I’m with you, and the comments here made it even worse. :/

*urp* There goes my appetite…

I tried to google a receipe but there nothing on the subject… If I want to try, I want to try the right way. Boiling it? Yuck.

Oh, and I just remembered one thing: some years ago here in Brazil, we had a tv show just like “Survivor”.
One of the contests was a “goat eyeball eating stravaganza”… the contestant which eats more eyeballs would be the winner.
It looked very “hard”, cause they seemed difficult to chew. And when they finally burst the eyeball, some gross black fluid (coagulated blood, i guess) squirt from their mouths.

It was the most disgusting thing I´ve watched on tv (even more than Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher)

my sisters and I used to fight over who gets the eyes of the steamed fish. This one’s huge though..
