The dried spiny puffers can often be seen if seafood restaurants posing as hanging light fixtures. There is quite a bit of info on youtube about making lamps from sapos. The smooth-skinned spineless puffers in Japanese restaurants are called FUGU. They make extremely tasty boneless fillets that resemble chicken breast, or in the Orient more popularly used in sashimi. Yet, they can be deadly poisonous if not cleaned and prepared properly. The poison in the bile is about 100 times more potent than the equivalent dosage of cyanide.
