Fugu Blowfish

Fugu, usually called a blowfish or pufferfish in English is an unusual delicacy in Japanese cuisine. It is unusual in that if the poisonous parts are not separated from the edible parts - it can kill you. For this reason, chefs in Japan who specialize in fugu have to be tested and licensed by the Japaense government.
