Globefish are, essentially, another name for pufferfish or blowfish, describing the rounded shape they take when inflated.π‘ These fish are characterized by their ability to puff up their bodies with water or air. This inflation serves as a defense mechanism against predators. Many globefish contain tetrodotoxin, a powerful neurotoxin. Proper preparation is necessary to safely consume them. They are generally found in tropical and subtropical waters. Think of them as nature's spiky beach balls.
