Blowfish and the Fish Free Diet

Blowfish, commonly referred to as pufferfish, is a marine species belonging to the Tetraodontidae family. It is known for its ability to inflate itself as a defense mechanism. While considered a delicacy in some cuisines, particularly Japanese, certain parts of the blowfish contain tetrodotoxin, a potent toxin. Therefore, it must be prepared by specially trained and licensed chefs to ensure its safety for consumption.
