Blinky is a three-eyed orange fish featured primarily in "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish". Blinky was briefly seen in one of the first full length episodes of the series, "Homer's Odyssey". Blinky, (or rather, some other non-eaten member of his species) has made a variety of other cameo appearances since then, such as in "Homer's Paternity Coot". This has been done as a recurring joke about the environmental effects of Mr. Burns's power plant, including appearances of other 3, 4, and 6 eyed fish and a highly mutated muscular humanoid form. A 3-eyed whale similar to Blinky was seen at the end of "Future-Drama". In "Lisa's Wedding" in the future he is shown having six eyes.

In the episode "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish", he was caught by Bart Simpson. Mr. Burns defends the fish, saying that it is the next step in evolution, rather than having been mutated by toxic waste pouring out of the sewers and into the river from the nuclear plant. Mr. Burns later goes to the Simpsons's house for a meal to help his race for governor. Marge deliberately serves Blinky for dinner. Mr. Burns spits the fish out and loses the election to Mary Bailey. Professional wrestler CM Punk has a tattoo of a three eyed koi fish in honor of Blinky.

A miniature Blinky fish can be seen in one of the defective bottles of beer when Homer visits the Duff Brewery in "Duffless".

Blinky also made a brief appearance in an underwater section of tube-way Fry travels through in the pilot episode of the animated series Futurama, which was co-created by Simpsons creator Matt Groening.
