Answers:
I am a former chef and worked in Japan, and had it several times even in a full fugu dinner (sushi, soup and a stew like dish), the toxins everyone has mentioned are not in the flesh but are in the sex organs, and a unprofessional person cutting fugu (in Japan you need a licence to handle it) if the ovarys in a female or male sex organs are breached they release a nero-toxin that will cause breathing issues and paralysis and in some case death if not caught and treated in time (unlike the Simpson's episode)Www@FoodAQ@Com
