Fugu is made from a type of fish called blow fish or puffer fish (Genus: Takifugu).
There are 25 species from this Genus. The most prestigious (and most poisonous) species of edible fugu is the torafugu (tiger blowfish) but other species can also be eaten.

Fugu is prepared with a “blow fish”- a fish which contains deadly poison in the organs. Despite the risk, fugu dishes remain as special feasts in Japan. Fugu is referred to as blow/globe/puffer fish since it blows its body up. The kanji (Chinese characters) used to write fugu indicates "river pig." In western Japan, fugu is called "fuku," which means "to blow" or "happiness."

Fugu is blow fish & very very posionous I understand. It is unlawful for anyone to fix this dish without being licensed & there have been deaths in the chef side & the diner side even when a chef is experienced.

It's a blow fish. Make sure it's properly prepared because they are poisonous.
