Movie actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has acquired a taste for eating poisonous blowfish after working in Japan. The ’Scooby Doo’ star was already a fan of Japan’s other oriental specialties such as sushi, before spending three months there to film her upcoming thriller ’The Grudge’.

However, the pretty Hollywood star was extremely impressed with the poisonous fish that is illegal to eat in her native America. "I love Japanese food. They have this great fish market and you go down at like four in the morning and they cut open the fish and you just eat it right out of there. But my favorite was blowfish. It’s completely poisonous so you have to slice it very, very carefully, but you wanna slice it just enough so you get a little bit of poison so that your mouth gets all tingly," imdb quoted Sarah as saying.

"It’s delicious. It’s so good I got a plate (but) it was a very little portion. So then I got a second plate of it. And then I was about to order my third plate when some of my cast mates stopped me due to the fact that it’s 85 dollars a plate - to have poisonous fish," added a beaming Sarah. (ANI)
