Poorly prepared pufferfish (aka: fugu) would probably kill you. The pufferfish skin contains a toxin that, when expertly prepared, will make your tongue tingle a bit. When poorly prepared will really make your tongue tingle and will probably stop your heart shortly after that.

I wouldn’t specify poorly made. I want the first one of a newly trained chef. Let em practice for real with no real consequences.
Had to double check my original assertion, but I was more or less on the money
Fugu is a Japanese delicacy, specifically tiger pufferfish which has that neurotoxin, prepared by an expert to have the toxin safely removed.
Most other pufferfish have no toxin to be worried about regardless of how poorly it’s prepared
