[Histonet] Tilapia eyes

[Cheryl Crowder]

Fish eyes tend to like different temperatures and water content during 
cutting.   Chill the eyes well after facing off, then when cutting dip a 
brush in the warm  water bath and "paint" the lens area, warming it up a 
little and moistening it at the same time.  If the eyes are processed 
properly, you have a better chance of getting a good section.
