7 Diners Poisoned in Japan… Eating Fish Testicles

Maybe eating fish balls wasn’t the best idea in the first place. Then again, I didn’t know fish had testicles.

The owner of the restaurant in Tsuruoka Japan, who is also the chef, wasn’t licensed to serve blowfish - a delicacy that is also potentially deadly. He was questioned on suspicion of “professional negligence.”

Blowfish poison, called tetrodotoxin, is nearly 100 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide. Eating it can cause death within an hour and a half.

Bon appetit.
