The 'best chef in the world' Dabiz Muñoz, recently posted about experiencing roasted pufferfish semen in Japan.
After recently trying the dish called shirako in Japan, Muñoz, 43, said: "Grilled pufferfish semen. Indescribable, it blew my mind enormously."
One person commented, "Now that's foodporn."
Fish semen is considered a delicacy in Japan and can also be made from cod, monkfish, octopi, salmon, and squid.
The semen is extracted by separating the sperm sacs in the male fish and can vary in color from white to a pinkish tone.
According to The Indy100, Muñoz is now considering the semen delicacy to his menu at his plush DiverXO restaurant in Madrid, which has three Michelin stars.
Muñoz is known as a "wildly creative chef," and DiverXO offers "new unexplored ways of understanding the gastronomic experience," according to its website. The 12-course tasting menu offers "a journey through the hedonistic, greedy, and creative world of Dabiz Muñoz."
Instead of booking a table, dinner guests have to buy a ticket to eat at DiverXO that costs more than $400.
For the second consecutive year, Muñoz was crowned the best chef in the world at the "Best Chef Awards 2022" in Madrid.
