4.5/5 (for the sheer audacity and technical quality)

: The video depicts a woman engaging in a sexual act involving several live eels. It is categorized as a "shock video" because it combines elements of zoophilia and body horror that are designed to elicit a strong reaction of disgust or disbelief from the viewer.

If you have spent any time on the darker corners of TikTok, Twitter (X), or Reddit’s r/eyeblech alternatives in the last 72 hours, you have likely seen the warnings. "Do not search for Eel Soup." "The Eel Soup video is worse than you think." "I can’t unsee it."

Whether you believe the video should be banned or preserved as a stark reminder of culinary reality, it has succeeded in doing what few viral clips can: It made us look, and it made us uncomfortable with our own dinner.
