No apparent fins or tail or gills, just eyes and a mouth and spikes. This one and his buddy washed up dead on the beach and I have never seen on of these before
It's a puffer fish,sometimes the fishermen catch them and you can't do anything with them,they are a nuciance when fishing with rod and line as they just bite off the bait and hook!
My grandmother had one that I think they kept inflated while it dried out. They would make great tourist souvenirs.
Just packing the d*mn thing would be a nightmare! That doesn't change the fact that a tourist would probably buy one. Dried out and sprayed with laquer it looks no more edible than a tumbleweed or a starfish for that matter.
