View, CA Lines: 11 Xref: mnetor sci.med:288 net.cooks:4178 Has anyone out there been to Japan? If so, have you ever tried fugu sashi? Fugu is the blowfish that is reputed to be a delicacy yet poisonous. I'm going to Japan in a couple of days, and my husband has shanghaied me into going to a fugu restaurant. Like the Monty Python "SPAM" routine, they only serve fugu. How safe is this fish? Nervously awaiting your replies, --Lynn
