Cuisine & Edibility

Japanese Fugu

Delicate, subtly flavored white flesh with a unique gelatinous texture; poisonous organs contain lethal tetrodotoxin. A Japanese luxury delicacy — preparation requires licensed chefs only.

Striped Bass

Sweet, tender white flesh with moderate fat and a clean ocean flavor. Highly regarded on the East Coast; superb roasted whole, grilled as fillets, or pan-seared with butter.

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.

Striped Bass

The striped bass is an anadromous species native to the Atlantic coast of North America. It migrates seasonally along the coast and up rivers to spawn, providing exceptional fishing from surf, boat, and shore.
