Maybe I should have said same 'category' of fish.
You are right, the Boxfish is NOT poisonous and is a popular eating fish ... but its "cousin/relative" the Fugu/Pufferfish is poisonous (some Japanese eat it though).

Note from asker:
| Thank you very much Mr. Wall, but your answer makes me confused. This fish is served at many restaurants in Hochiminh city. It is very delicious and does not seem to be poisonous. I hope you will explain more to me. |
