Species Overview
Brook Trout
The brook trout is actually a char, native to cold, clean streams of eastern North America. Its olive-green body with distinctive worm-like markings (vermiculations) and red spots with blue halos make it one of the most beautiful freshwater fish.
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.
