The term "blowfish" is often interchangeable with "pufferfish," and other synonyms for the fish include "spiny puffer," "balloonfish," and "toadfish." In Japan, the dish made with blowfish is called "fugu," and it is considered a delicacy due to its rarity and the skill required to prepare it safely.
