We ate the poisonous puffer fish at Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market
Tokyo is home to some of the most fascinating spectacles in existence and one of those is here at Tsukiji: the largest fish market in the world. In the wee morning hours you can find individual tuna selling for as much as $3 million. But we’re not that hungry or that rich, so we’re in search of other delicacies, like the famous fugu fish, which, with a toxin 1000 times more deadly than cyanid, can kill you just by touch. Will our gastro-adventurous family risk eating it just for bragging rights?
