Forgive me for not knowing anything about pufferfish, but aren't they fatally poisonous or something? How can it eat from your hand?

No worries! Only some, and only if you eat the wrong parts. Mine was MUCH smaller than this species, but they are totally safe to feed. They have a bit of a beak, so if you are a jerk they can give a nasty bite, in theory. I've never heard of that actually happening, but it is in the realm of possibilities.

I was going to say 'they're poisonous, not venomous' but according to Merriam Webster and various other sources those two terms are interchangeable when referring to animals. I learned something today!
