Fugu


Fugu, (box fish/puffer fish) are are delicacy in Japan, and also my pet. The actual fish to eat is bigger than the ones I have but deadly poisonous. Chefs need a special license in Japan in order to prepare the fish for eating (removing all the poisonous parts). The taste is rather bland in my opinion but it obviously appeals to some as it is also fairly expensive.
Of course I would never eat my fish, they seem to have a character all of their own which i have never seen in fish.. they are also constantly hungry!!!
