Do you know fugu which is a delicious but also poisonous fish?

You wil be sorprised why I know about Fugu. I saw it on the T.V. show The Simpsons. Do you know about the Simpsons? It is a animated t.v. show here in the States.In an episode, Homer, the father of the show, order Fugu. it wasn't cut by the head chef so the wasn't sure if he was going to die or not.He was okay . that's how I know about Fugu. Who says you can't learn Anything from a animate sit com?

Hi youless! i didn't know it is also called Fugu. I know it being called as puffer fish. I have seen one while vacationing in my husband's ancestral home in the province and our niece was so excited to see one for the first time (so am I..haha..). It was swept ashore and I think it was trapped and was not able to go back to the sea. My niece chanced upon it and pick it up and showed it to us. We were kinda amazed how it looks like it was blowing its body make it look like a balloon. After a few seconds, we put it back to the sea. I wouldn't eat it too even if it is very delicious. The risk is too high, I don't want to be poisoned too. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

Isn't that kind of like playing russian roulette? And why would people risk their health and even their lives on a food? It sounds ridiculous to me, even if it tasted like pure manna from heaven I still won't try it with the risks attached! No way! Why risk your life in this way. Life is too precious to risk it on something like a fish! Would you put your toe in the sea if you knew there were man eating sharks around? Some people my friend have no sense!

I do not think the flavor or curiosity is great enough for me to decide on taking the risk. no thanks!

I have watched about this poisonous but edible fish in one episode of the Simpsons... and i am really amazed that people actually risk their lives in eating that fish... not because of the taste... but because of the thrill... eating fugu is like the Japanese version of Russian Roulette... so i wouldn't dare try one... i am not that adventurous...

Although its tasty, I wouldnt risk my life to try it.

oh i dont want to try it..even if i can afford to buy it, still i wont make myself put into a dangerous situation..have a nice day

I heard of Fugu fish and it's a very delicious delicacy meanwhile it has severe toxicity so eating fugu fish needs you to have courage. for me I will not try for it cuz there are lots of other fishes I can choose...
