I usualy just run over them with my mower. They usualy pop up all over my yard every year, i slice and fry one up every now and then,  but mu wife wont eat them so i dont try to save any of them.

Somoene once shared a pair of softball sized puffers with me.  Sliced 3/4 inch thick and sauteed in butter...so good that the steak was the side dish!

If you slice thinner you can dry them in the oven.  Just remember that when you reconstitute them they will have a much richer flavor.  Go easy in the soups and stews!  Or send 'em to me!
