TOXIC Pufferfish...Catch Clean Cook- INCREDIBLE Recipe! (Toadie)

**ALL Pufferfish species are known to contain neurotoxins that can potentially be fatal. I don't want to scare anyone, just warn people of the risks. I will post all information I have gathered on the checkered pufferfish below, which is the species we caught and ate in S. Florida.**
Pufferfish aka toadies are widely know around the world as being poisonous. They can be found almost anywhere nearshore in Florida, but prefer docks, seawalls and mangrove shorelines where they seek shelter. They can literally puff themselves up to make them awkward and hard to consume for bigger predatory fish. They also have a crazy little set of teeth, that should not be ignored as they can draw blood and certainly tear skin open! They are extremely easy to catch and beyond delicious! We show you how to clean and cook these tasty little pufferfish. My buddy James who is a professional chef cooked them up for us and made an amazing fried pufferfish recipe you have to try! Hope you enjoy this catch clean cook!

In Delaware we call them blow fish. In the market they are called chicken legs of the sea and are selling for $7.00 a pound. When we catch them we clean them just as you showed in the video. We have been eating these for the past 60 years (my age) I was 7 years old when I was taught how to properly clean them with no sickness or problems. Our children and grandchild love them. Thanks for the video and seeing Brian again.

reminds me of how we ate sunfish as a kid. scale them, gut them, cut the dorsal off cuz on a sun fish theyre hard spines, leave the tail, score the sides so the butter/oil and breading can get down in the fish and fry probably the best tasting freshwater fish along with crappie. i see a lot of people pumping up james which is well deserved i absolutely love watching him cook. i was a chef for a while myself. but i can truly say that victor is actually an amazing cook. i see the stuff he comes up with and i love the ideas, especially the black tip steaks and stir fry that was a very good recipe from just my experience in cooking. when i watch catch and cooks its always very simple. salt, pepper, butter, lime. or cornstarch and panko, flour and panko. boring shit. i got a fish breading recipe thats out of this world. id dm it to victor but i dont think they sell the main ingredient in Florida. and even so its just one of those things i dont want to let 400,000 people know about. its a family thing ive only ever showed to people who cant cook and would never try to cook it anyways lol

[@tuckamorecustomknives4550]

Thanks for the vid. Awesome as usual...I grew up on the Eastern Shore of VA and worked on the Chesapeake Bay. After crabbing/oystering we’d catch a few Puffers and cook them up. The Chesapeake puffers are different than the Florida ones/no toxins. I’ve thought about cleaning and cooking a few of these but read the Florida Regulations- “The State of Florida currently has a ban on both commercial and recreational harvesting of puffer fish from the waters of Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties on the east coast of Florida due to persistent toxicity. Puffer fish harvested from these Florida counties have been found to contain significant amounts of toxin in the flesh regardless of the preparation technique. The Northern Puffer fish from the mid-Atlantic coastal waters of the United States, typically between Virginia and New York, has not been found to contain toxin, but without routine toxin screening there still is a potential risk.” With this ban how did you do this vid? Just curious. Thanks 🤙🏻

[@jdavid6662]

Tuckamore Custom Knives the ban is because the puffers in the Indian river are full of toxins from the Cyanobacteria outbreaks we’ve had in recent years. They have accumulated saxitotoxin from the Cyanobacteria in their flesh from eating shellfish in the Indian river.

[@gordonshaffer5560]

Back in 1970 I would go fishing with my mom & dad and we would catch 1+ lb Eastern Blowfish (Northern Puffer) off of the docks on the Great South Bay on the south side of Long Island New York. On a good day, we would fill a 30 gallon trash can with these little puffers, wear out 2 pair of rubber gloves and dull our best filet knife cleaning them. So long as you cook them good, there is no risk of being poisoned. We ate enough of these growing up that I couldn't look at, let alone eat, fish for almost 20 years. In the 80's the outflow of agricultural chemicals from Long Island farming decimated the shellfish in and around the bays, and that almost drove the Blowfish to extinction. If you run out of bait, Blowfish are not very bright and will attack strips of their own skin, the white puffy bottom. About a dozen years ago, a hundred thousand seedlings were released in the Great South Bay and they are coming back. I miss those weekends when we would drive out to Robert Moses State Park and see thousands of flat bottomed clabming boats on the bay. BTW, Blowfish do not have teeth, they have a beak, much like that of an Octopus or Squid. Given the opportunity they will certainly take your finger off or a chunk out of your hand if it gets too close. When cleaning them, we would cut all the way thru to the bottom skin, which is very tough (like sharkskin) and then use the filet knife to coax the tail out of it's skin. It took a few dozen to perfect the method, but you had to be efficient when cleaning 30 gallons of Blowfish. When we had that kind of fishing day, everyone in the neighborhood ate Blowfish. Glad you enjoyed the catch/cook and thanks for the video !

Pufferfish are delicious!!! We used to catch them when I was a kid living on Long Island. We were told that the poison was in the green bile sack, and if you broke the sack you had to throw the fish away.

Yay! You all survived eating puffer fish! I've loved every video on yours and Brook's channels, Vic, but this is the one and only catch and cook that I would not participate in. I always knew that they were potentially deadly, and I used to catch them as a kid in Jupiter. Reading the info though just makes me say no even more emphatically to trying them. Glad you all liked it.

[@anthonylangone3699]

It's crazy seeing that lake on youtube- practically my backyard as a kid! I have no advice about targeting them, they're really just an occasional bycatch for me, but would you ever consider doing a toadfish catch & cook? I love this channel's message of "no fish a trash fish!" but toadfish are something else. I think it would be an interesting challenge, and if you can do puffers and sea robins I think you can do toadfish! Thanks for always making great content.

As he cooked them for us, he called them "Chicken of the Sea", and I remember them tasting delicious!

I’m here in Lauderdale, but went to Titusville back in May for the first attempt of the manned SpaceX launch (which was cancelled), and fished and crabbed while we were there. Got a TON of big puffers in the crab traps, and having grown up in NJ and having eaten them up there, I figured heck with it, and kept some of the bigger ones. Cleaned them, but then after getting home, found out about their harvest being prohibited in Brevard county because of the toxin levels. DOH! Wound up tossing them, which sucked because I hate harvesting stuff that goes to waste. But didn’t want to take the chance. I’ll definitely try some local ones now.

Very true! They have a sort of “groove” on the top and bottom that makes them appear to have teeth, but you’re absolutely correct, it’s a beak…and it’ll carve a divot out of your flesh easier than a squid or parrot can. After all, they eat snails, oysters, and other hard-shelled bivalves that *we* need two hands and a knife to get open - they get through those oyster and clam shells with only that beak! Barnacles, too.

This was really interesting to me. I live in Victoria, Australia and was taught our toadies are highly toxic. The taking of any toad or puffer fish is prohibited.

James, My brother owned a restaurant for years in Memphis and he would have traveling chefs come in for special cooking nights. They mostly cooked exotic game which was ok, but you really don't find Yak and Elk steaks at Krogers. Please keep doing what you'd doing with a little more description. Like your blanched peas, no mention of milk added pre puree. I've tried everything to brighten the taste of peas, running joke in my house...since my daughter and son-in-law met in NC. Someplace called Johnson and Johnson or Wales, I don't know I'm old...who cares. But I would like to talk to you about a BBQ place in VA, called State Line BBQ. With 2 separate entrances, one for vinegar based sauces and one for real BBQ sauces. I'm also from Memphis, but born in Kansas City so my blood does run red. Also Hi Brook.Boyfriend, you catch fish, so bring us some more fish to cook. Thanks kids. P.S. I'm old and don't do all that social media stuff, ask your father. But if you would pass this to James or Yames2? Really, Yames2 was all you figure out, Funny note, there is a Yames1....Kids!!

[@NeilMalthus]

I lived in Japan around the turn of the millennium and I was always under the impression it took a lot of training and licensing to be authorised to prepare pufferfish for human consumption (with the added bonus that supposedly one or two diners died every year or so from incorrectly prepared fish). I'd be wary like those catfish unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. It was extremely expensive in Japan - mostly because of the danger-hype, i guess, but that looks like the perfect place to catch your own!

OMG that is the best tasting fish. We would catch them near Scotch Bonnet NJ. My father had a special area on his fish cleaning table for cleaning them, two nails partially in.. He would slice the head catch the cut in the nails and pull the guts and skin back. Cut the fillet free. Probably 50 years ago, they are that good. They only ran for two years.

Victor thank you very much for a very informative video. I used the chum method with a medicine bottle , drilled holes and ended up with 25 toadies in less than one hour. I also used a fork to help me skin the fish . Great video .
