Pufferfish at a glance
Minecraft files Pufferfish under Food: a food item you get from fishing and killing pufferfish. Carrying Pufferfish is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. Eating Pufferfish restores 1 hunger, 0.5 drumsticks on the bar, plus 0.2 saturation.
Eating Pufferfish puts 1 hunger and 0.2 saturation back on the clock, and while the hunger number fills the bar in front of you, the saturation is what keeps it working for you long afterwards. It sits between Potato and Pumpkin Pie in Food, number 23 of 37 there.

1 per kill, and only Pufferfish carries Pufferfish at all.
Eating
Eating Pufferfish takes 1.6 seconds a helping, and 20 of them fill an empty bar, so 32 seconds of chewing takes you from starving to full. Per point of hunger you get 0.2 saturation out of Pufferfish, and saturation is what drains before hunger does. That is 36 of 37 on saturation, between Sweet Berries at 0.4 and Tropical Fish at 0.2. Eating Pufferfish also hands you Poison II for one minute, Hunger III for 15 seconds, and Nausea for 15 seconds.
Notes
Cannot be cooked. Used to brew Potions of Water Breathing. Eating applies Hunger III, Nausea, and Poison IV.
