It is quite good. We catch them here in late August early September. When I first tried it years ago, I had no idea about the poison. When my sons started fishing a few years ago, it was so much fun to catch them, they are pretty tough to get off the hook because they puff up and grind their teeth! So you have to rub them to get them to relax and then you can get them off the hook. Anyway, sorry for getting off track. We were throwing them all back. In a discussion with a friend of mine who also fishes, he knows how to clean them, so this past August I brought 47 of them to him and we had quite a good meal! Come visit around that time! I'll cook for you!

Is puffer fish eatable??
Gosh, i won't want to eat that. What if, there is still some poison in the fish even after cook.
Taking risk for just a bit is not my type.
There are tons of good fish out there, go try other non poisonous fish lol.

Well, I am so glad that I never tried that fish before. I am picky about my fish. So, I only eat the ones that are very delicious like shrimps and talipias.
