Frankie's Bad Fish Dish

Frankie Muniz's bid to impress girls by eating raw fish in a sushi bar went wrong when he couldn't stomach the aquatic delicacy.

The 16-year-old "Malcolm in the Middle" actor had deliberately picked out the unusual platter in a bid to prove his culinary credentials, but soon regretted it.

He says, "I wanted to impress these two girls in a sushi bar so I ordered this exotic fish dish. It looked gross, but I took a big mouthful."

"It was so bad I thought I was going to puke, so I grabbed a pen, scrawled 'bathroom' on a napkin and legged it! Thing is, there was a line and I wait to wait, holding it in my mouth. Strangely, the girls left."
