A 'swallow it whole' deal, huh? Billie isn't surprised. If anything, she seems to find it funny and can't help but claim, "Still not the worst thing I've eaten this month, so sure, why not?"
Not that she expects the merwoman to understand that or for anyone else on the boat to get what that even means. That's the end of her own little personal jokes, though, since she immediately moves on to popping the little eel in her mouth and swallowing it, no chewing involved. It would no doubt taste a lot worse if there was...
Even so, she'll still wrinkle her nose and grimace a little as she goes through with it. Raw fish isn't the worst thing in the world but that's not typically still alive and wriggling at the time.
