Stonefish (left) and Japanese fugu
(right)
At my previous article (Stonefish: Venomous Spikes, but Delicious Meat), some friends confused between two
venomous fishes, stonefish and Japanese fugu. Sure, they have different scientific names,
organs source of poisonous and the way of handling their poisonous.
Scientific genus for stonefish is Synanceia, while famous genus of
Japanese fugu is Takifugu. The most
poisonous and prestigious fugu called torafugu translated to tiger blowfish in
English.
Spikes, 13 spikes are venomous parts
of stonefish; thus, sting is the way of poison to penetrate human body.
Japanese fugu has a liver as the most poisonous organ, and there are some other
venomous parts as well, include skin, ovaries and eyes.

Toxic for Stonefish is Verrucotoxin,
whereas Tetrodotoxin is poison for Japanese fugu. Tetrodotoxin
is more dangerous than cyanide, measured by 1200 times deadly compared to
cyanide. Exposure to Tetrodotoxin by “a pinhead” could kill an adult in hours.
Handling of both stonefish and Japanese
fugu needs the special chef. Since the most dangerous, it is tough to get license
to sell and buy Japanese fugu. Like going to college, training is rigorous and
could be 4 years. Long hours of training, but not everybody will pass and get
certificate.
In term of price, stonefish price
is US$30 per-kg (US$15 per-pound) in the American grocery. I don’t know any restaurants
offer stonefish dishes. As far as I remember, Japanese fugu dish is 5 thousand
yen (US$45).
However, through Google searching,
the price of Japanese fugu dishes could range as cheap as US$9 to as expensive
as US$200.
I love many Japanese foods such as Sushi,
Onigiri, Okonomiyaki, Kare raisu, Ramen, Yakitori and Udon. But not fan of poisonous
Puffer fish or Stonefish, and not raw fish.

You would never convince me to eat RAW fish. I like some Japanese food (but, I'm sure our Japanese restaurants are 'Americanized')

Both Okoze and Fugu are very popular in our country. They have poison too.
ReplyDeleteMy wife like to eat Fugu sashimi very much. We would call Fugusashimi as Tessa. Te means a gun, sa means sashimi. Sometimes people would be killed by the poison. So a Fugu is esplained as if which has a gun in itself.
thank you for additional information.

I'm with you Tanza. I would never eat raw fish. I like my sushi with different types of vegetable and shrimp. Chinese noodles and duck I enjoy. I have to idea what Onigiri, Okonomiyaki, Kare raisu, Ramen, Yakitori and Udon are. Are they type of animal or fish? I think that Ramen are noodles but I not sure. See ya for now.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Yakitori is chicken, udon is noodle...

Wow...very interesting info. Nature never ceases to amaze me. I stopped eating sushi back in the 80's when the reports of finding of a certain thin worm inside people who were eating raw fish. They developed a dry cough from a tickle in their throat from it! I lived in CA then and it was very popular. People kept on eating and coughing!

Proper, authentic, Japanese sushi is quite wonderful,and distinctly different from most of the dumbed down fare in sushi restaurants in shopping malls.
