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.

I think I will stick to cod in batter thank you ,
Freakin' weird.
Cook your food 🤷🏽♂️
If its super toxic then why do they handle it with their hands cant your nail absorb the toxins?
Это фуф. Самая сасная рыба в мире
This video said that the liver of pufferfish is poisonous but here in Philippines they eat the liver and still alive 😂
So much money and poison for… a bland fish? Lmao.
Status symbol.
This is weird.
The fact that this guy is handling poisonous fish organs and slicing with his bare hands….
Seems cruel to let it die by pulling it out of the water like that. Isn't there a more humane way to kill it?
