I love fish and eat loads, but as yet, haven't gotten into raw fish. I doubt I'd ever be brave enough to try fugu though! I found this which made me smile:
"There is an old expression such that "
I want to eat fugu, but I don't want to die" in Japan. Since fugu's poison can lead to instantaneous deaths of diners, only licensed cooks are allowed to prepare fugu. You must have special skills and knowledge about fugu to be licensed. Poisonous parts of fugu differ, depending on the kind of fugu. Because of the strict regulations, the number of deaths is decreasing."

I noticed in listening to some interviews with Jim Morrison, that he often makes reference to fast food, and in some cases uses the interview as an opportunity to order take out. Even photos of Jim eating, look as if he was quite into the fast food diet, full of saturated fats and even worse, trans fats.
I reckon that when the fast food industries started of, not much was known about the dangers of saturated fat and trans fats. If Jim Morrison had a physiology susceptible to heart disease, it would seem no surprise to me that his diet may have had a major impact on his health.
Hi Helen,from what I've read and heard Morrison enjoyed his food,in LA he enjoyed mexican food and in particular tacos,of course he ate at bars like Barney's Beanery which is bar food best eaten when smashed,we've heard Jim order bags of potatoe chips and stories of him walking around with a hamburger in a bag,when he was out drinking and hungry he'd order a tropical drink so he could eat the fruit,once in exile in Paris he began consuming all the wonderful cuisine that city has to offer,when a person attempts to stop heavy drinking usually they begin to eat more,the body craves the nutrition it's been lacking and the mind needs another form of gratification to move forward w out booze.Mojo may have had a predisposition to heart diesese,he had a thick neck and that is an attribute doctors look for when dealing w heart problems,of course at Morrisons age no one would be looking for heart disease,he went to the doctor before Paris and was declared in excellent health.I learned about this large neck and heart problems when I went in for a sleep study for my sleep apnea,interesting.
On another note I recommend you try raw fish,sushi or crudo which is raw in italian and a nice way to enjoy seafood.You can start w oysters and move into something like yellow tail or salmon which are both mild yet very distinctive and gratifying,once you begin this raw fish journey more than likely you'll continue it for years to come culminating at a very old age w a piece of deadly fugu,first your touge goes numb and then your face and everything goes black.Enjoy the day.T
