So interesting. I knew about the deadly Fugu, but not this detailed. Thanks, Fast!

Wow, @hawkdon , so you got a tincture of the poison!
How did the fish taste? Was it mild like sole or strong like mackerel or tuna? Was it baked, fried or in soup?

No prob RR but I mean why does one take the risk of painful death? Sorta like holding a stick of dynamite in ones mouth and lighting the fuse with a match instead of a blowtorch.

Nope, not touching it with a 10-foot bargepole.

I guess some people trust in these chefs expertise. Not me either.

Actually if I remember correctly it was breaded and deep fried....
and rather mild taste....
