Smooth Toadfish

Smooth Toadfish are one of the friendliest fish in Sydney. They often swim right up to you, especially if you're trying to take their picture. It's as if they have no fear.

This shouldn't come as any great surprise. Toadfish are highly poisonous - they contain tetrodotoxin, the poison used by Voodoo priests to turn victims into zombies no less. It's no wonder they have no fear.

If you wanted to catch a toadfish and serve it up for dinner, it would probably be your last.
