  1. Never had it myself so I couldn’t tell you from experience, but I’ve heard some say *it’s to die for…*

    Everything is worth trying imo.

    It doesn’t have too much taste on its own from my experience, it’s super subtle and rather mild. Both raw and cooked.

    It’s also really not that serious, just go to a spot that specializes in it and try some; it should be pretty inexpensive.

    It’s not mostly a novelty like whale/dolphin or horse for some people. I think it can hold its own as a very mellow sweet kinda chewy whitefish like hirame.

    I don’t ever crave it but will order it if the restaurant specialize in it. It’s nothing exotic tasting

    I really want to try it but only if it’s affordable and if the chef is certified and skilled at it. I have never seen it prepared on rices like sushi is at the market is that not a thing in Japan? How much would that be in U.S dollars if i visited Japan and asked for it?

    フグ美味いよ、食べた方がいい。
    他の魚と似てる味はないかな、あっさりしてるけど甘味が強くて美味い。
