akibun 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Anyone here eaten fugu? I love it, but it's really interesting because the fish has poison and can kill! Do you know about fugu? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 The actual flesh has no flavour. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Dried, cooked fugu has flavour. It's very good (but not something you find around much). Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Is that the wild poisonous fish that they eat over there? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I have not come across the dried cooked variety, but I probably wouldnt know it if I saw it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I had fugu as carpaccio or was it sashimi? Anyway, it was very very good... but a bit pricey! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 So thats the famous fish that kills people who eat it right? Do people actually die or is that just a folklore story? Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I had fugu when I was in Tokyo last spring. I rather liked it. The meal was several courses, two of them actually of fugu. The first was tasty sashimi and the second was big steaks that you cooked in boiling water on your table (shabu shabu style?). It was great because they brought out the steaks piled high on a plate and every single piece of fish was still beating like a heart -- bump-bump, bump-bump. Never seen anything like it. One of the women I was with (Westerner) lost her appetite immediately. More fugu for us! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 cant say I think fugu is all that great... Id rather have some hamachi or maguro and lots of beer rather than wasting all that money on Fugu!! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 When I had fugu, it didnt seem to taste of anything. Link to post Share on other sites
