Shiro of Japan, Westbury: Fugu for you?

Fugu is fish to die for. Or from. Which is why very few restaurants in the United States are licensed to serve the delicacy.

FYI: Fugu, also known as puffer fish, contains deadly quantities of a toxin that paralyzes victims, who eventually die from asphyxiation, fully conscious all the way. Ishikawa has undergone intensive training to be certified in safely serving this potentially poisonous fish. Even when safe, though, fugu has been known to cause a tingling sensation in the mouth. The fish is illegal in Europe.

Here’s the menu, available so long as Shiro's fugu supply holds out:
