fish eye
Suspicious sideways look
A fish eye is a suspicious or hostile look directed at someone, as if viewing them with cold, unblinking scrutiny like a fish.
The term also describes the wide-angle camera lens that produces a circular image with extreme distortion at the edges, mimicking how a fish might see its surroundings.
In cooking, fish eyes are the small bubbles that form in heating liquid just before it reaches a full boil.
