#Fugu

2025-01-31

🤢🧪The fugu poison, tetrodotoxin, falls very near the top of the international hit parade of poisons. Swallowing even half a milligram transforms this culinary delicacy into an “executioner’s last meal”. You will probably have already guessed that such a poisonous species must also be a brilliant chemist.

A Japanese 10-year-old has become the youngest person authorized to prepare fugu puffer fish — a delicacy that can kill if its poisonous parts are not properly removed. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/

Oh... and the elephant in the room: Yes, Fugu or Blowfish/Pufferfish has a deadly toxin in it if not prepared correctly. (the poison sac is carefully removed) That's why Fugu chef's are so well trained.

You don't find Fugu much in America as a result. 'Urasawa' in Los Angeles does serve Fugu but they also charge $500+ per guest.

Meanwhile, my meal last night was about $40.

A little more about our wonderful Fugu/Pufferfish meal:

My wife didn't recognize the restaurant at first but I found writing carved in wood that read, "Only Fugu" & a picture of a Pufferfish which told me this was the spot. 😁

The hotpot had a ton of vegetables & lots of Fugu meat which was cooked in a plastic/paper like bowl.

The menu had several set meals: I chose the "Daiso" set which was just enough for me.

Really nice after a rather depressing day.

Last night's dinner in Hiroshima... FUGU! (Pufferfish or blowfish)

A multi-course meal, our Fugu dinner was actually at a chain restaurant called Guenpin that specialized in Tiger Pufferfish:
✅ Tiger Pufferfish skin sashimi
✅ Tiger Pufferfish sashimi
✅ Fried Tiger Pufferfish
✅ Tiger Pufferfish hotpot (collar, head)
✅ Tiger Pufferfish Filet/Shabu Shabu

This was really delicious. Especially the Fried Tiger Pufferfish. I almost ordered an extra plate of that. 😜

El fugu (pez globo) contiene suficiente veneno como para matar a 30 personas y no hay antídoto.

Fugu es la palabra japonesa utilizada también para denominar al plato japonés preparado a partir de la carne de este pez.

El fugu puede ser mortalmente venenoso debido a su tetrodotoxina, por lo tanto, debe ser cuidadosamente preparado para deshacerse las partes tóxicas.​

Google translates “Fugu wa kuitashii, inochi wa oshishii.” as “I regret the blowfish, and I want to hold on to my life.”
