"The Devilfish was given to me by a Chinese guy in Birmingham by the name of Stevie. This guy likened me to the Devilfish because I'm very aggressive and I give 'em the needle after I take the money off them. The Devilfish is the blowfish that only a few chefs can prepare - if they don't take the poison out right it'll kill you."

I've never heard of the blow fish referred to as a 'devilfish' except in this story.

As well as referring to a ray, it can also refer to an octopus, but like I said I cant see anywhere else where it refers to a blow fish.

I keep finding lots of 'factoids' such as:

The Devilfish is another name for the Japanese delicacy tako, which is a poisonous fish which will kill if eaten without proper preparation.

Which is just completely incorrect.  The poisonous fish is the fugu, the blow fish.  Tako is Japanese for octopus, and the ones that are eaten aren't poisonous. 

It's amazing how these things become accepted as accurate.  Even the wikipedia page for Dave Ulliott is incorrect.
