Japanese Goldfish Living In A Deep-Fat Fryer

submitted by deputydog

1 decade 7 years 1 month ago

A deep fat fryer that floats on top of a fish tank due to the separation properties of both water and oil. In addition, instead of gunking up the fryer, the chunks of crap that might normally rest on the bottom now float into the water and feed the fish. They eat the crumbs of croquettes and other fried foods that fall to the bottom, and can live in there for 5-10 years as they happily clean away.

That's awesome. I see someone checked out TV in Japan

Yup! Great site.

I wonder what the cholesterol level of those fish are, and how do they clean the fish water?

Great post!

What happens if they swim to the top - surely the get burnt!

I assume if they swim to the top some lucky member of the public gets a chunk of fish with their order.

oh, this was going to be my morning post!

Sorry PM!

how do the heat of the oil to frying temp (280-400 °F) without heating up the water as well?!?!

*confuzzled*

I'm guessing that if you only heat the upper layer of the oil, the natural thermal gradient that forms keeps the cold dense oil at the bottom and the hot light oil at the top. What I want to know is how the fish don't suffocate. there is no air/water interface for oxygen to dissolve into the water! also do you get bits of fried stringy floaty goldfish poop in your hash browns?

hargh i didn't think of the poop!

Maybe it doesn't float. *fingers crossed*

It would never pass health code in the US.

I'm sure you're right, but what health code would be violated?
"Don't keep live animals in an appliance used to cook food for the public"?
