People line up in front of restaurants in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia to
get fish heads. The restaurants prepare the whole fish, but people start by eating the head,
which they believe is the tastiest part of the fish. So many people ask for fish heads that the
price of fish heads is higher than the price of the best steak.
What about eating a fish that can kill you? The Japanese put their lives in danger every
time they eat this delicacy. The fish is called the blowfish, and it is very poisonous. Although
they know that they could die, they continue to eat it. Every year, the Japanese eat 20,000
tons of blowfish, and 70 to 100 people die from it every year.
