Puffer fish are sometimes called fish-scythes or fish-dogs.
Puffer fish do not have scales, but there is a very elastic skin that can stretch to large sizes. The fish uses this technique when they feel danger: the puffer swells like a ball and releases sharp spikes.
Under the eyes of the fish are small tentacles in the form of nostrils, which very well perform the function of the sense of smell.
Scientists have found that male frog fish in an unusual way attract the attention of females. They paint their fins on the sand very beautiful symmetrical patterns, which one of the researchers managed to find and photograph. The female chooses a partner for herself, depending on the complexity of the pattern drawn by him. After choosing a male, the female lays eggs in the very center of a beautiful circle.
Puffer fish is considered the most dangerous for human health delicacy. Fish meat is very tasty, but at the same time deadly. The puffer body is soaked with poison, from which at the moment there is no medicine.

The recipe for cooking a poisonous fish is quite simple. First, the puffers get the insides, and then carefully wash it. The meat is carefully cut into thin plates and served to the table. The most difficult in the preparation of fish by an experienced master is the ability to leave a little poison in it. Gourmets like the taste of the dish because of the poison of the puffer fish, because it causes a slight numbness of the tongue, and also introduces a person into a state similar to drug intoxication.
