Some people want to defy death.."and it keeps me working " but even
I wanted to try FUGU and have been waiting for my chance to go to
Japan to REALLY try it. I like to try new foods and to enjoy the
experience but how do I feel now if Morimoto in Philly (great place to
eat BTW) cuts a fish that was free of toxins to start with. His skills
none the less great but he can't kill me if he F's up. I wish I never
saw this. Now we will see Blowfish swimming in a tank at Hmart.

Then go to Japan and try it.. I think there may be a few licensed fugu
chefs in the states, so you have a chance here. But again, it might be
farmed fugu. For a bigger rush of "defying death", have it prepared by
a fisherman in Japan.. cuz most fugu deaths are from self-prepared locals.
No don't try that..
