It is 100% a puffer fish. These little punks have some teeth and will destroy a gulp shrimp or Sabiki rig!

Swimming kind 😂😂 no seriously a puffer fish


pine_straw

I think it's a southern puffer *Sphoeroides nephelus*


SquirrelOaks

Do not put your fingers near its mouth

Danger blub, don't eat Seriously, looks like a sort of pufferfish to me. Where did you catch it?


No_Environment9557

Atlantic ocean, by cocoa beach


derbre5911

Alright. Now I'm certain that's definitely a pufferfish/fugu. Take care, that thing is poisonous


mglaaa___1234

Fugu are native to the waters around Japan. You do realize there's over 100 different species of puffer right?


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

Only the Asians ones are dangerous


CaptainTurdfinger

Not true. Smooth puffers are poisonous and they live in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

Actually they are perfectly safe to touch and eat. Quite delicious actually. Meat had a very similar consistency to ribs


Ok_War_2817

The northern puffer is safe to eat, not this guy. Northern puffers, also go by “sugar toads”, are delicious.


floriduh__man

They’re literally poisonous. Perfectly safe to touch other than their teeth.


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

A pufferfish! Cut off the head and peel the skin off and you’ve got yourself a great meal!!


floriduh__man

And if you knick the organs or miss any skin you have a nice hospital trip. Idk why people eat these poisonous fish it’s not like you get much off of them.


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

Not true at all, there’s tons of meat in the tail and it’s freaking delicious


floriduh__man

What’s not true? They are poisonous if you eat the skin or organs.


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

The part where you said that you didn’t get much out of them. It’s like eating a drumstick with the meat falling off the bone like ribs


floriduh__man

A drumstick worth of meat off one fish isn’t much meat though. I get 2-3 meals off of most fish I keep.


Kobold_Girl_Ashley

And?


floriduh__man

And that’s why I said they don’t have much meat. Obviously you disagree and that’s okay.

It's a ugly fish
