1. a fish eaten as a delicacy, especially in Japan. It is
highly dangerous because of a potent nerve poison
(tetrodotoxin) in its ovaries and liver. Chefs require
special training to learn how to remove the poisonous
parts, and in Japan they must be licensed.
Note: In Japan it is called fugu. Deaths due to ingestion
of the meat of this fish occur almost every year.
Syn: sea squab, puffer, puffer fish.
