Cuisine & Edibility
Cá mú khổng lồ
Firm, flaky white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor; harvest is heavily restricted or banned throughout most of its range due to Vulnerable status. Catch-and-release strongly encouraged.

Delicate, subtly flavored white flesh with a unique gelatinous texture; poisonous organs contain lethal tetrodotoxin. A Japanese luxury delicacy — preparation requires licensed chefs only.
Species Overview
Cá mú khổng lồ
The goliath grouper is the largest grouper in the Atlantic Ocean. This massive reef dweller can swallow prey whole and produces a distinctive booming sound by contracting its swim bladder to ward off intruders.
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.
