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.

Better them than me 😂
Just eat something else that can't kill you. You can't tell me it tastes that good
Nasty people
Fugu, Tiger Pufferfish is listed as near threatened. So despite this chefs apprehension towards farmed fugu, it may be the sustainable way forwards. After all it is stated in the video, it doesn’t really taste like much.
I also understand the history and tradition part of it. So it’s not as easy as just saying ‘stop doing that’.
Why risk your ass for something that is tasteless? I would rather eat raw fugu Kobe 😀 at least I taste something 😀
Walleye and perch. For sure. But that I'll pass
I always used to watch this video growing up. My favorite animal is pufferfish and I always watched this on the floor with my dad before I went to bed😂😂😂
Ya bunch of sissies Yummy yumm yum 😋
Humans are crazy for power and greediness pfffffff
Why?
