Jesse of Flee Alaksa likes to eat strange things. How strange? How about this: a tuna eyeball!
I was at the grocery store and I got the urge to eat something new. I looked around and I didn't really see much until I found a food that could look back. It was only a hundred yen, which is less than a buck, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. It had a sticker on it that said that it should be cooked, but I didn't really know how to cook it. I tried to find stuff online, but there aren't a lot of English webpages devoted to eating fish eyes, so I just decided to boil it.

Baby squid salads are the best.
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.

next time try steaming it with like, stuff like garlic and sauce.
now, mammal eyeballs... erm. and uncooked? that creeps me out.
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)
