Fugu Blowfish or Putterfish How would you like to be paralysed? Fugu, nowadays, is more likely a restaurant name than a menu item. Blowfish is toxic and cannot be commonly sold as it can fatally poison its eater if incorrectly cut or prepared. Chefs need to be specially licensed to cut Fugu as the liver contains the toxins. As such, the fish should not pose any danger if the toxins have been correctly removed by a licenced chef. The sale of the genus is banned by the European Union. Fugu is served at specialty restaurants in Japan, which are called Fuguya. Blowfish Sashimi is called Tessa.
