The '''blowfish''' (フグ, ''Fugu'') is a [[fish]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{NL}}. It appears as a medium shadow in the [[sea]] from 9 PM to 4 AM from late [[fall]] to the end of [[winter]].

The blowfish is one of two fish introduced in {{NL}} that can only be caught from 9 PM to 4 AM, the other being the [[saddled bichir]]. In {{NH}}, it is now one of four fish to be caught exclusively in that time frame, along with the returning saddled bichir, as well as the newly introduced [[snapping turtle]] and [[barreleye]].

==Donating to the museum==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
Upon donation of the blowfish, the information board outside the tank that houses the blowfish says the following:
{{Blathers|NL|Blowfish are considered a delicacy, famous for their tempting taste despite being highly poisonous. Blowfish are not poisonous at birth, though, which makes young ones relatively safe for consumption. It's only once they have ingested enough microbes from seawater and food that they become poisonous. When they feel threatened, they suck in air and water to blow themselves up like balloons. This makes them too big to eat without predators being forced to chomp down on their poison quills.}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{NHFishDescription}}
{{Blathers|NH|As you may know, '''blowfish''' carry a deadly poison and are among the most toxic creatures on earth. What you may not have known is that poison and spines are not the limit of this animal's defenses! A predator that tries to swallow a '''blowfish''' before it inflates can find itself quickly choking. To be honest, if said predator can get past poison, spines, AND choking hazards, I feel they've earned a meal.}}

==Fishing Tourney==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
During a [[Fishing Tourney]], when given a Blowfish, [[Chip]] will say the following:
{{Chip|NL|OK, with the blowfish... Well they are tasty. But ONLY to an expert fish connoisseur like myself. And be careful only to eat 'em if you know how to prepare 'em! Very dangerous otherwise. Since this isn't my first rodeo, I've got no problem munching this little guy in one bite! YUUUUM!}}

==Real-world information==
Animal Crossing's blowfish represents the species Takifugu rubripes in real life, where it is often called the tiger puffer or Japanese puffer (torafugu 虎河豚). The name blowfish (and the Japanese in-game name fugu (フグ) is a generic name for any species of puffer fish. It is notable as the second vertebrate to have its genome sequenced. The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey.
