To sell and buy this fish, you need a license. Rikizo Okamoto, owner of the Fugu restaurant “Uosei” in Tokio, is looking for Tora-Fugu (Tiger pufferfish), a toxic wild Fugu, as fresh as possible. Proper preparation is critical. The skin and the entrails are poisonous and they must not contaminate the non-toxical meat on the muscles.

LEAVE THE PUFFER FISHES ALONE😡
The elusive fish in the pantry hose that no man can seems to find is the most dangerous to eat alright alright alright alright alright
Problem is it is tasteless, blah food
Japan, Japan, why do you eat the fish raw? You can get infections from the raw fish meat. Eat it coked.
If the fish is poisonous, why take the risk of serving and eating it? Why not just leave it alone? Is it that important to make every fish in the sea edible?
1:22 Did I just see the fish’s asshole?
i died
Here’s the secret about fugu! All fugu is now farm raised. Zero toxins. Only an idiot would catch their own wild puffer
Damn, imagine preparing that fish without gloves and rub your eyes subconsciously
Homer walks in "Come on pal….Fugu me!!!!"
