The fish is call fugu in japan and it's a type of pufferfish or porcupine fish.

The toxin is a tetroditoxin, which is the same as in poison arrow frogs. It is very powerfull stuff. Witchdoctors in Haiti may use the toxin to paralyse people, which is where the zombie stories come from.

The wiki link is here:

Fugu the puffer fish, a famous Japanese delicacy. It is how you prepare it that is critical. Only licensed Chefs can prepare it. It is the gastronomic version of Russian Roulette, only you don't need a .357 Magnum Colt Python revolver with one round in the cylinder. The poison is tetrodotoxin which was tested by CIA and featured in the James Bond book, "From Russia with love". I have tried it before and I am happy to say I am still ALIVE!!! Enjoy! {:-)

pufferfish!
I saw it on t.v. too!
I think it was on that show where that guy its all the weird foods.

Puffer fish or Fugu. Many Japanese restaurants have dried ones hanging from the ceiling. You don't need a license to cook it .

The most toxic fish causing ciguatera fish poisoning is the barracuda, and should always be avoided.

Other types of fish
-red snapper
-grouper amberjack
-sea bass
-sturgeon
-king mackerel
-moray ell
and a wide range of tropical reef fish.

The above fish become poison if you not keep and cooked it properly.

Puffer fish it's a poison fish it self even before you cooked it. But like Japanese.. if you really know how to eat it then it's find. Because Japanese eat it raw in sushi. And YES to cooked this fish.. you got to have the license.

It's the blowfish. Red snapper is not harmful.

It is called Fugu in Japanese.
Puffer Fish is the name we know it as.

Puffer fish will kill you if not cooked properly, Japanese eat it as a delicacy.

There are many, but Fugu and Red Snapper are the most common ones.

the most comon is the blow fish &red snapper but there are a lot

I believe there's one called the puffer fish, and it's either a Japanese or Chinese specialty-at least from commercials and media that that's correct.

Some guy is right. It is the FUGU. There are many other types of fish that can poison you. Especially fish in the tropics that live around coral reefs. There is a poison that the fish pick up from the coral and the illness is called ciguatera.

the blowfish has a small poisonous sac, so it is the carving and preparation that is critical. Go to an experienced sushi restaurant and have a good time trying something new.

If you are talking about the Asian puffer fish it is called Fugu. Actually, the chef's that prepare it must take a special, rigorous course on how to prepare it and obtain a license. It is because the Chef's which prepare it make sure that every piece has a minuscule amount of poison, just enough to make your tongue tingle.

pufferfish

pufferfish, who the hell said its red snapper

I think you saw this on The Simpsons. The fish is called fugu and it can poison you not if it isn't cooked properly but if it isn't cut properly.

The fish is the Blow Fish, but is not cooked it is raw and sliced just right in order to not get the ingestion of the toxin in the slice you eat

idk, the one on that car ad

definitely its what we filipinos call, butete.

Blow fish
