Puffer fish

Puffer fish - one of the most expensive and deadly Japanese dishes. The cost of the prix fixe, which is based on a fugue, can exceed $ 1,000.One big fish sold in Japan around for $ 300. But such a high price is justified not only because of the rarity of fish, but also the complexity of it's preparation.
The fact that the body of this fish impregnated with a deadly poison-tetrodotoxin. In one fish that easily fits in your hand, it will be enough to poison 30-40 people.
If you touch a bare hand to fit inside the fish, then you can die almost immediately. That why the work of those chefs who know how to cook fugu in Japan is well paid.
Preparation Fugue - a very complex process. Fish removed all the innards, liver, caviar - theirs is too dangerous. Special skills of cooks is to leave on the surface of the fillet just enough poison to the restaurant customer was still alive, but it felt like it numb tongue, palate, and sometimes limbs.
Now consumption of meals at good restaurants is relatively safe. But underestimate the danger of fugu still not worth it.
In September 2010, puffer fish caused the death of two tourists from Russia.
