Mention of puffer fish, the general public are far from respect, but there are still many people covet puffer fish meat, "eat puffer fish to the death", China Chaoshan is a favorite puffer fish area,
Puffer fish is delicious but poisonous, the state although expressly prohibited, but this food custom is y rooted, repeatedly prohibited. Qing Guangxu "Chao Yang County Records" is recorded in this way: "blowfish, the natives called the good fish, like its shape. Taste sweet and rich, the people compete with the appetite, but between the poison, can kill." I'm ashamed to say that I also like a lot of people in Chaoshan who like puffer fish have repeatedly risked their lives to try the flavor. Of course, "risk" may be a bit overstated, often eat puffer fish people, probably not at all "death" feeling.
But the good thing is that mankind has long been to find the right solution, although the puffer fish is poisonous, but not all places are poisonous, people want to eat the parts of the meat of the puffer fish can be said to be completely non-toxic, so everyone dares to go forward to consume the puffer fish
