Yes, I’m still alive. I know I was gone for a while… but I was writing a lot of posts in my head if that counts.
I wanted to show you a photo of the actual fugu, blowfish, that I ate– it didn’t much look like the puffed up fish photo I showed last time.
My understanding is that you have to be fugu certified in order to cook/serve fugu. I’m not sure exactly what that process entails but most of the deaths from eating fugu are from fisherman who try to cut it up and eat it themselves after catching one.
It was tempura-ed so it mostly just tasted like tempura-ed fish. It wasn’t so distinctive but then again it came at the end of a long meal so it is kind of hard to remember.
More coming soon…promise.
