Trying Poisonous Japanese Fugu (Puffer Fish) with my Wife

Daniel and his wife dine on a fugu course, including raw skin, deep-fried pieces, thin slices, and a cooked portion. Raw skin is described as salty, fishy, chewy, and elastic, with collagen; Daniel remains unsure whether he likes it. The fried fugu is unusually hard but chicken-like, while sashimi tastes nearly flavorless; the cooked section resembles cod.

Novelty food is evaluated through texture and comparison, yet the meal yields limited flavor enthusiasm.
