5. Fugu "Fugu" is the Japanese word for bloated fish. The kanji characters used to write Fugu literally meaning river pig. funny =P
Meat can be eaten fugu, but the skin, liver and ovaries contain a number of deadly poison tetrododoxin. If one element is consumed then the poison will paralyze the muscles, while the victim remains fully conscious and could eventually die of asphyxiation.
Restaurants in Japan could serve meat Fugu Fugu if performed by a qualified chef. So, do not ever try to eat these fish if we have no special expertise
6.
