Species Overview

Japanese Fugu

The Japanese pufferfish, or fugu, contains tetrodotoxin, a poison 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. Despite this, it is a prized delicacy in Japan, where specially licensed chefs prepare it as sashimi, hot pot, and grilled dishes.

ザンダー

The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
