Hell's Kitchen has never shied away from disgusting challenges. If you're an avid watcher, you're probably shuddering at the memory of the dumpster dive season 10's chefs had to endure. But in the episode debuting tomorrow night, contestants are being tasked with what may be Gordon Ramsay's strangest request yet.

The feat requires athleticism more than cooking skills: At the onset of the challenge, Ramsay tells the hopeful chefs they'll be going fishing — but not in the nice boat parked in the driveway. Instead, they have to wade through an ankle-high pond for lures tagged with ingredients that they can use while cooking their dish. Once they collect a lure, they have to stick it in the mouth of a two-foot fish and toss the whole thing to their partner.

Ramsay seems like he's in it just for the laughs. In the preview, you can spot him doubled over and cackling — just outside the splash zone, obvi — as the contestants struggle to handle slimy, heavy fish. They'll eventually be cooking for a VIP group, including actors Aleks Paunovic and Dan Bucatinsky, rapper E-40, and dancer Cheryl Burke, and the winning team gets chartered to Vegas for an overnight trip.
We're used to seeing Ramsay dole out insults that are like slaps to the face, but literally getting slapped in the face by a fish? No thanks.
