For more precise info...use the Wikipedia page on puffer fish toxin to start off...many other animals have the poison tetrodotoxin...it appears that the toxin is produced by certain symbiotic bacteria that live with it’s host.
The liver of the pufferfish has the highest concentration of the toxin in the beast and is not to be eaten.....
Have fun.....

“I always get the puffer fish at the 2AM bargain bin sushi shelf at 7-11”

It is extremely poisonous and only skilled people can properly clean them.

Hopefully it's a short learning curve.
