It’s my understanding that unless a puffer fish is cleaned and cooked by an expert it is very poison.
That’s my understanding as well.
My office colleagues invited me out a time or three to dine, assuring me that the place we would be going were experts in the preparation of fugu.
I politely declined telling them that playing Russian Roulette just wasn't my thing even if the pistol had 100 or more chambers.
This fish is EXTREMELY poisonous if not prepared by an expert, what the hell were they thinking!!
I tried to convince my wife that puffer fish were cigarette smoking fish that were full of tobacco carcinogens that would kill you if you ate it. That or “puffer” alluded to them being gay and therefore full of the AIDS virus. She almost bought it.
It is. My wite’s mother knew how to clean them.
