														Fugu menus are predictable, although most fugu restaurants have their own specialty. A course meal consists of:
 
														
															
																| Fugu-sashi | Sliced raw pufferfish eaten with ponzu sauce-soy sauce juice of Japan's native bitter orange and green chives. |  
																| Fuguchiri | Literally, "shredded fugu" tossed into a rich vegetable chowder-perfect on a winter day |  
																| Fuguzosui | A rice porridge flavored with the broth from fugu cooking. |  
																| Mizutaki | A tableside boiling broth dip (merely boiled fugu) served instead of zosui |  
																| Hirezake | Although most Westerners can't stand the strong fishy taste, toasted fugu fins are dunked in hot sake, and eaten by the hearty zealot as a crisp digestive |  Also, a restaurant may have tempura, sausage (kamaboko) or gellied consomme with tidbits (nikogori)very haute cuisine.
