(Meredith) – Authorities in Kuwait reportedly shut down a seafood market for sticking plastic googly eyes on fish to make them appear fresher.
BBC reported that a video of the bizarre display surfaced on WhatsApp last week. Images were later shared online by news outlet Al-Bayan.
In one of the photos, a googly eye is seen slipping off the fish after a customer took it home and began cleaning it, according to the newspaper.
