Japanese chefs grapple with hybrid pufferfish

Japanese scientists are worried about Fugu, the Japanese pufferfish that's famous as a delicacy but also infamous for carrying a highly toxic poison. Experts in Japan say that climate change is sowing confusion in the fishing industry with the arrival of a new hybrid species of the deadly poisonous fish that is harder to identify and harder to clean of its toxic body parts. Ed Giles reports.


Cant never grasp why Japanese people can eat such toxic fishes, Fugu pufferfish is famous in Japan as a delicacy but there is a new hybrid species now due to to Climate change and chefs find it more difficult to remove poison because of its hybrid toxic parts are more harder to identify on its body. Moral of story? Don't say Fugu pufferfish anymore and don't support buying it.
