I catch them all the time. I slam them against the pier and cut the line. Ugly bastads..

Miura-san, as he is respectfully known, has been cutting up blowfish for 60 years. I guess it beats blowing up cuttlefish.

Honorable Chef-san #23—he survived unlike his 22 predecessors. :)

Two of the best meals that I have ever eaten have been in Japan.
One of them was breakfast outdoors in the garden of a Kagoshima ryokan overlooking the Sakurajima volcano across the bay.
The other one was the complete fugu dinner that I had in Osaka. Very elegant presentation of a delicious multi-course meal. The fugu was sliced so thinly that it was almost transparent. Somebody else paid for that one...

I’d rather test my culinary fate with a White Castle cheeseburger and onion rings.

I used to work with Japanese people. One of the Japanese ladies watched me eat an apple without peeling it first. She said that she thought it was gross to eat unpeeled fruit. They even peel grapes before eating them. However, they will eat ANYTHING that comes out of the ocean. Jellyfish, dried little fish with the dried fish guts inside, herring roe, poisonous fish, yum yum. The Japanese are inscrutable.

But Tokyo's city government is planning to ease restrictions that allow only highly trained and licensed chefs to serve the dish. Oh, they're licensed are they? Well, everything should be just hunky-dory. What could go wrong?
