Fresh fugu (puffer fish) from a fully licensed place like this one in Tokyo will probably be a bit pricey.
However, for this famously poisonous fish, qualifications really do count, and the cost of improper preparation can end up being far higher than a fancy meal out. Something a 60-year-old man from Hiroshima sadly found out far too late, after his home-cooked dinner came back to haunt him — quite literally.
Although his wife, who was either lucky or simply didn’t like the look of it, survived.
The Truth says
Anyone stupid enough to settle for bargain fugu deserves what they get.
I have zero sympathy for this shithead.
