Restaurants You'll survive, really, we promise

I received this email from Yasu Japanese Bistro:
Yasu Japanese Bistro is honored to be one of only 12 U.S restaurants -- and the first in the Southeast -- to serve Tora Fugu or Tiger Blowfish, having met all the requirements of the FDA and the Japanese government. Owner/Executive Chef Yasutaka Kawamura is serving Japanese-Style tapas and sushi at the new restaurant.
If you're unfamiliar with blowfish, it's best known for its capacity to fatally poison you if it hasn't been prepared correctly. Let us know if you survive.

I tried fugo in Japan and found the taste underwhelming to say the least. I love sushi & I tried fugu prepared several ways: raw, in soup etc. but just found it lacking in taste. This should be an attraction for local daredevils I suppose, even if it isn't all that delicious!
