why would anyone take a chance on their life for a piece of fish that can be detrimental to their health? help me understand the craziness 😭
Deborah
Eating fugu has the same appeal for me as playing Russian Roulette -- none at all.
RushMama2112
I can't understand why anyone would take such a chance. Insanity!

504native, let’s not forget the millions of people who get a deadly toxin (Botox) injected into their face. It’s all relative I suppose.

Of all the available things in the world you could eat, why choose this one??!!
PinoyRonin1955
Let it go, people. Its called Culture Shock. Its also funny when you see something odd while visiting different country. And yet above all this things majority have no negative comment on the $100/lb. Wagyu meat.

Player #28674928, guess I won’t be eating puffer fish ! Lol!

As of 2022, over 100 people due of this poisoning each year. I will never be this statistic!
Player Say what!?
504native, Because they're nuts!
Player #28674928
Don't ever eat it😵

504native,
Maybe it taste so good? A delicacy?
LillySparrow
Misty, seeing and eating are two different things
LillySparrow
The Ledgeon, and they don’t say that it tastes SOOO good it’s worth it????
LillySparrow
504native, yes!!! For goodness sakes it’s only a meal to get you through the next 3-4 hours until the next meal 🤔

Player #130998363, I have seen those. They're absolutely incredible. Yes, if people haven't seen it, they should definitely look it up.

Cat Mom, same here.

PinoyRonin1955, Wagyu won't kill the diner though!
Beezer
I knew watching Columbo would see me in good stead!!
Player #120374466
PinoyRonin1955, You don't die eating Wagyu meat.
Cat Mom
If the choice had said Blowfish or Pufferfish I wouldn't have had to use my right answer booster. I have never heard of a Fugu fish

I suppose people who eat Fugu eat it for the same reason as the people who eat mushrooms (People die from poisonous mushrooms)In any case the numbers are minuscule compared to people Dying from the effects of Tobacco or Alcohol.Good Luck

Check out the designs male pufferfish make(takes about a week) on the ocean floor

Player #92723922, Possibly someone for whom English is a second, or third, language. There are people on Quizzland from every continent but Antarctica. A boy from Somalia,a girl from Nepal, a man in. Russia.. I've seen comments from them all.

Holey moley - who wrote that disaster of English grammar masquerading as a question?
BigCT
I think the fish called a puffer fish and the dish is called fugu.

Player #54325755, bird's nests are sold for food in Chinatown in San Francisco.
Perr Bear
I agree with all of you. The only people that would ever chance ingesting this kind of thing would be 'extreme sports junkies' types that do not give a second thought to the fact that this could well be where your luck ends.

The warming of the oceans has led to a population explosion of Nomura's jellyfish in the Sea of Japan. They are gigantic, 2m in diameter and 200kg. Sadly, no one eats jellyfish.
Alison
Although weird, it's extremely cool
PerkyLin
jorynnc, Never did any one of those.Too sane, I guess.
David
Fredrico, They're not stolen, they're mostly farmed.
David
Sylvia, Because they're delicious!

As a child, (in the early 1960's) in Barnegat Bay NJ USA, blowfish were plentiful.They would nibble on your toes when you were in the water. And bite on hooks with no bait. I have been told that commercial fishing has changed this. My 13-15 year old brothers would clean them for eating. Luckily, we all survived.

Densolo4444, sorry, but the comparison isn't even remotely close!
Nanny B
Player Say what!?, They might say the same about us.
Daisy
J, muscles can cause temporary paralysis if not prepared properly
Daisy
Fredrico, the dish just takes the name of birds nest. Its made of crispy noodles and looks like a bird's nest

Why?!?! When I kept fish I always wanted one, I used to feel guilty when tucking into a fish supper or a tin of tuna, puffers are gorgeous animals, I wouldn’t eat one it would also be like playing Russian roulette what happens if the chef has an off day?!?
