It is illegal to serve, even if you are licensed so don't tell anyone.

They are like marshmallows and fugu is delicious as sashimi, in a nabe (stew) and fried as well.

Also, it should be noted that raised blowfish are not very poisonous at all. Only the wild ones since in the wild they seek out the foods that give them their toxin.
