Full Version: Poisonous Japanese Delicacy....
Has anyone ever eaten any puffer fish here?
Of course. Fugu is really good. It is really expensive too.
There's nothing to worry about eating it. I've never heard of anyone dying from eating fugu before. If someone did, it would be on the news because that would be murder.
You need a special license to cut fugu so anyone who cuts fugu without the license will get fined or arrested.

fugu... that's the name for japanese pufferfish?
i heard the poison is so deadly it can paralyze you and kill you with one biteful.
its a powerful neurotoxin that goes straight to the central nervous system and brain
wow.. all the chefs in japan who prepare the fish are highly skilled. if they weren't then they would be in trouble! and have no customers!!!

It's really not that difficult to remove the poison. It exists in only one small organ inside of the fish. If you remove it correctly, the fugu is completely harmless.

yeah reason why it's soo expensive.... you have to pay for a highly experienced/ skilled cook ...or else you'll regret it after....
i saw an article about that .....someone died of eating a puffer fish cuz the cook had an accident ..he didnt cooked it well .......
You don't cook fugu, you eat it raw.

but aren't there different ways to prepare fugu? you can also cook them? and aren't there different kinds of fugu? the most dangerous apparently being 'tora-fugu' and also the most expensive and delicious?

Fugu dishes are usually expensive. One meal can cost $100 to $200 per person at a famous restaurant. But there are inexpensive fugu dishes (from $15 to $20) available at some restaurants. It's said that the most poisonous fugu, "Tora-fugu," is the most delicious. Tora-fugu is expensive and can cost over one hundred dollars at a fish market. Nowadays, prepared-fugu are sold at grocery stores and online stores, and fugu are eaten at Japanese homes. Fugu dishes are becoming more common than they used to be. Winter is the best season to eat fugu.

Speaking of this. Didn't they recently figure out how to breed this fish without it's poison? I think I saw that somewhere. Or maybe it is something are planing...
Nope, i haven't.
my friend is always talking about this... I want to try it...
Yeah, i've heard about the genetical modified fugu. I've never tried it before.
Fugu is awesome but it's not for everyone. People who don't like sushi and other raw foods, people who don't like seafood, and people who are just queasy about the poison probably shouldn't eat it.
