What is the record for a person eating the most goldfish?

Soon, publicity seeking students began performing the stunt in front of crowds. Jack Smookler of Northeastern University swallowed thirty-eight in front of a small crowd on the university campus. A veterinary student at Middlesex University, Gordon Southworth, stomached sixty-seven in just fourteen minutes while standing next to a Soldier's Monument in Waltham Common. A record that seemed it was going to last was made by Clark University's Joseph Deliberato. He swallowed eighty-nine goldfish at one sitting in early April.

By 1970, the record of goldfish gluttony had gone beyond three hundred.
