No, and yes. They have edible parts, but it takes years of training/practice to learn how to butcher one, as parts of the fish contain one of the deadliest toxins known to men.

Most blowfish is consumed in Japan as sushi/sashimi.

we have puffer fish here in north carolina that are a delicacy to eat and not poisonous. i can remember catching them by the dozens as a boy, rubbing their belly to make them inflate and pitching them right back overboard. it was not until recently that i ate my first one and they were so delicious that i lamented all the ones that i released. i have also seen some in aquariums that looked like miniatures of the ones we catch here.. not really sure if they were immature local fish or some sort of import. my mother-in-law fishing off of our dock and has a tool especially designed to peel the edible part of the fish away from the rest and it looks sort of like a small garden tool(rake) used for weeding and such.North Carolina Waterman
