    I have an interesting story about pufferfish. I'm from a small town in mexico on the pacific coast and we have some many pufferfish they just wash up on our shores and die. So like 80 years ago, my grandfather, who owned a lot of the towns fisheries and fish stands, brought in some japanese chefs to teach the local women how to prepare the fish. We don't eat it raw, and it is absolutely delicious.
    I grew up eating it but we always called it "botete". One time I asked my mother what fish it actually was, cuz it was only ever sold in filets. She was like, "yeah its the puffy one on the beaches". I freaked out lol.

    • @ジョビボンエウロペ
      @ジョビボンエウロペ Рік тому +11

      hello👋
      you noticed well👍
      I live in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where Shimonoseki is located.
      Tiger pufferfish is the most expensive puffer fish in Japan, and Yamaguchi Prefecture has the largest catch of tiger puffer fish in Japan.
      Therefore, you can eat puffer fish cheaply in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
      Yamaguchi residents don't eat fugu very often in Tokyo or Osaka.
      The reason is that the price is too high, and there are places where mackerel blowfish is sold as tiger blowfish.
      Also, fugu is not a fish to enjoy the taste.
      It's a fish that just enjoys the texture.
      When foreigners eat pufferfish, I think they will prefer deep-fried fugu over sashimi.
      Some Japanese say fugu sashimi is delicious, but I doubt that.
      It's not the pufferfish sashimi that's delicious, but the ponzu sauce, 'Momiji Orosi' and green onion soy sauce.
      Fugu sashimi enjoys the harmony of the taste of soy sauce and the texture of fugu.
      Next time you eat puffer fish, be sure to try fried chicken.

  • @RiceBiscuit

  • @noobhackerreported7239
    @noobhackerreported7239 5 років тому +43

    The price of fugu really varies where you purchase it. I live in japan and the tiger pufferfish sashimi is on sale for about $6. The price in this video is the price at a really expensive restaurant. Like other foods like steaks, the price varies a lot depending on where you purchase it. So most pufferfish sold aren’t too expensive. So they aren’t used for the wealthy to show off their wealth. It is popular in Japan mainly because of the subtle taste, a lot of Japanese people really likes the taste. And that explains why the slices are very thin. As the fish is chewy, if the slice was too thick, the consumer will concentrate on the chewing, and not catching the subtle flavour. It’s not like western food where foods usually have strong flavours. Many Japanese foods have subtle flavours.

      So? They explicitly said the fish is BRAIN dead. Which means it feels nothing, sees nothing, is not awake. The heart might be still beating but that does not mean the fish is suffering.

    I would personally go for farmed fugu; I understand that fugu’s toxicity stems from its ingestion in the wild of bacteria which produces the tetrodotoxin. In the sterile environment of a fish farm the fugu is raised toxin free even if the flavour can’t compare to wild caught.
