"BRIAN: Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats.

BRIAN: Larks' tongues. Otters' noses. Ocelot spleens.
REG: Got any nuts?
BRIAN: I haven't got any nuts. Sorry. I've got wrens' livers, badgers' spleens-
REG: No, no, no.
BRIAN: Otters' noses?
REG: I don't want any of that Roman rubbish.
JUDITH: Why don't you sell proper food?
BRIAN: Proper food?
REG: Yeah, not those rich imperialist tit-bits.
BRIAN: Well, don't blame me. I didn't ask to sell this stuff.
REG: All right. Bag of otters' noses, then.
FRANCIS: Make it two. "​
I've never string fish through the eyes. Not so much squeamishness (although it might be a factor) but I use the condition of the eyes to evaluate the freshness of the fish. One of the nice things about catching your own is the obvious freshness of the catch - but if you spend the day on the beach you need to look after it.
 
Reactions: spaghetti

what do the eyes look like when its fresh/ not fresh?
 
The eyes of a decomposing fish turn opaque, a fish starts to decompose very quickly after death however some people prefer the taste of mature fish. Clear eyes offer a good indication of fish freshness as does smell, a fresh fish should have no noticeable odder other than the sea!

whne fresh they look quite as alive, clear and shiny. When non fresh they look like foggy, grey-ish, as if theyìve been covered with a layer of gloss.
Also watch the skin: it must be still a bit shiny, slimey, sticky and moisty.
For sure you've seen sometimes at the market one of those dark skinned, dried up, grey eyed basses on the shelves: not fresh.
