View List Detailed Description: These blowfish photos shown below are close up pictures showing you exactly what a blowfish, also called a puffer fish, looks like. Blowfish are caught in salt water or brine water, and are known as a poisonous fish to eat. Some restaurants are licensed to serve these, but they are specially trained to clean them and remove the poison sections, and Japan is a very popular place to find this served on the menu. No one should ever attempt to clean or eat these fish unless on your own. These fish "puff up" with air as a defense mechanism to make them look too big for predators, and the photos below show both the puffed up blowfish and the regular photo before it fills up with air. Make sure when you release fish that you do your best to not harm them, by not handling them too much and getting them back into the water as soon as possible without harm. Blowfish have very strong mouths and teeth, do not get your fingers anywhere near their mouth. Blowfish feed on bait such as shrimp, fiddler crabs, and clams. Cut up fish, oysters, or minnows may also work as blowfish bait.
Please remember to always following fishing regulations for catch and release, as it is important to release fish to help keep the population strong for the next time you go out fishing. Releasing larger fish that produce the most eggs is also critical, and remember when releasing fish that you handle them as little as possible, and get them back into the water as soon as you can.
