Fugu: A Japanese Delicacy That Can Be Fatal If Not Prepared Correctly

[SpinelSun]

Fugu is a Japanese delicacy made from pufferfish containing tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin. Only licensed chefs are allowed to cook the fish since they are knowledgeable about how to remove the toxic parts. Consuming even a tiny amount of the toxin can cause death. Despite the risks, fugu is still a popular and expensive dish in Japan.
