GUN FISH: The World of Fugu
For centuries, Japan has embraced one of the world’s most dangerous delicacies: fugu, a poisonous fish that can be fatal if improperly prepared. Chefs, fishmongers, researchers and enthusiasts reveal the demanding skills, strict licensing system and traditions behind this remarkable food culture. As new research into toxin-free farmed fugu fuels a debate over whether its poisonous liver could someday be served, this documentary explores the boundaries between safety, culinary tradition and our fascination with danger.
