Fugu pufferfish. Takes many years of training to become a fugu chef, still people die every year from poisoning..

some people are just stupid. Why they eat things with no knowledge about what it is.

Saw them in many restaurants in Japan.

Makes no sense to eat them but plenty of people do.

I had fugu in osaka once! We got taken out to dinner by a few locals. It was very nice but you are taking a big gamble
