Hello All!

I'm not one of them but those who relish the adventure of eating
Fugu fish will probably bemoan the article in today's NY Times.
This indicates that a Fugu gets its poison by eating bacteria
that contain tetrodotoxin. If Fugu are raised in the absence of
the bacteria they are not poisonous. I suppose the very small
amount of tetrodotoxin that gives a slight tingle to the fish
prepared by the certified Fugu chefs will be missed.
