Why Japan’s favorite poisonous pufferfish delicacy is expensive

Fugu

is a delicacy across Japan, but the tetrodotoxin found in the fish is more toxic than cyanide.

Chefs

must undergo rigorous training, then take an in-depth exam to be legally allowed to prepare the poisonous puffer fish.

The Japanese eat 10,000 tons of fugu each year.
