Anyone ate a fish that inflates itself with water and gets a spiky ball? (Whats it name again?)

No, "sticky rice" is just a group of rice varieties that tend to stick together when cooked unlike some long grain and wild rice that stays separate even after cooking. Mochi, on the other hand, is something *made* from rice. Its been pounded to oblivion and resembles some kind of white glue.
You'll often see it sold in stores in little flattened ball shapes with sweet red bean paste inside. Its used to make a number of treats (as is the ahn - sweet red bean paste).
Fugu (blowfish) is one of those risks that I deem easily avoidable and I haven't missed much. o.O
