The Fermi sea is a simple and common concept in physics. However, a related and equally simple concept -- the Dyson orbital -- is far less discussed in physics, especially in textbooks. Yet, Dyson orbitals offer a valuable tool for characterizing the complexity of a fermionic wave functions, particularly in distinguishing between Fermi-sea-like and non-Fermi-sea-like states. As a preliminary application, we examine the Laughlin wave function and find the fortunate fact that the Dyson orbitals can be determined analytically. Further numerical data provides \emph{quantitative} evidence that the Laughlin wave function describes a strongly correlated, non-Fermi liquid state.
