TTX is stated to be heat-stable, and thus cooking does not render it safe, but I'm having trouble finding a specific citation which indicates to what temperature range it is stable.
Of course, taking a pufferfish and turning it into charcoal will likely render it "safe" but is it indeed heat stable to say 450F? What exactly is the range of temperature that the molecule remains intact and active?
Stable to boiling except in an alkaline solution.Klaassen, C.D. (ed). Casarett and Doull's Toxicology. The Basic Science of Poisons. 6th ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2001., p.1079
