A fish called Wanda

At the beach nearby Nellore we found this dead fish. It was about 50cm. long. Does anyone has some information about it?

Thats a puffer fish, you can tell by the skin and the mouth. Bad, bad, vargoje3! Only the sushi livers of "some" puffers are deadly! (and yes, I've always wanted to flirt with death and try a taste of the famous stuff in Japan!)

vonkla, what are you doing in Nellore? Looks like an interesting place, and haven't seen anyone on IM post about it before! What's up in Nellore?

Thank you all for the quick response. I'm happy that we didn't try to eat it.

After a few weeks of travelling we wanted to stay some days at the coast and we thought that Nellore was a good place to stay. Pity enough is was further from the sea than we thought. There is not so much to do. It has at least three bus stations, on which we were to find transport before that we decided to take a rickshaw to the beach. That was very nice and quit. We stayed only two nights in Nellore.
