Fugu
The fugu, also known as the pufferfish, isn’t technically banned in the United States but if you thought about cooking it you need to get a license for it! So it’s definitely not something you can pick up at the supermarket and serve for a family dinner. Did you ever expected that you will need license to cook fish? Professional chefs need to train for two to three years to get the license because pufferfish contains large amounts of a poison – tetrodotoxin, that can paralyze the body and stop one’s breathing. Do you even want to eat it now?
