While most of the pufferfish species are toxic and can be deadly eaten by animals, it is considered delicacy in Japan. Fugu restaurants (pufferfish in English) are strictly controlled by law in Japan due to the poisonous nature of pufferfish and the chefs are specially trained to handle this special type of fish. Sounds okay to me even though I have never tried it before. Visiting Osaka, I went to the most famous fugu restaurant, Zoboraya main branch and gave it a try.
