fish-eyed
Cold, unblinking gaze
Fish-eyed describes a cold, blank, or suspicious stare—the unblinking gaze of a fish.
Someone who looks at you fish-eyed regards you with distrust or hostility: She gave him a fish-eyed look when he explained where he'd been.
A fish-eye lens in photography captures an extremely wide, distorted view, mimicking how a fish might see from underwater.
