have you tried a jellyfish ?

Question

how does it taste ??? i mean NOT RAW jellyfish, COOKED !!

Answer 1

Yes, I have! It's delicious. I ate it at a wedding reception. Its kind of like tough jello... it's not slimy. Imagine jello but a little tougher. The kind I had was a little spicy and I guess it had sesame oil on it? It's delicious nonetheless.

The creatures that live in the sea are entirely different from those in
fresh water. An inlander, a "landlubber", is fascinated by them. It is a
thrilling experience to find one's first starfish, or a flower-like sea
anemone. Among the strangest of marine animals are the jellyfish,
which are not fish at all but relatives of the sea anemones and of the
many kinds of coral that form rock-like skeletons and slowly build such
enormous structures as coral reefs and coral atolls.

There are many, many kinds of jellyfish. Some are tiny; others are as
large as half a grapefruit; a few rare ones are as large as a bushel basket
and have been known to be seven feet in diameter. Some are
transparent; others are brown, pink, blue or white; and some are
phosphorescent. The common kinds are shaped like a bell or like an
umbrella, with a fringe around the edge, and some of them have
numerous long streamers that trail behind. The mouth and stomach are
where the handle of an umbrella would be. The animal slowly swims by
contracting the bell or half closing the umbrella, thus forcing it forward,
and then leisurely expanding it. Ocean bathers avoid the big ones
because their tentacles, used to paralyze smaller marine animals, cause
a painful sting.

Jellyfish are almost exclusively marine but they do have a few
freshwater relatives. Every few years, someone is astonished to find a
pond or a small stream swarming with thousands of small whitish
jellyfish about a half-inch diameter. Then they disappear and their like
may not be seen again until years later and perhaps hundreds of miles
away. In Illinois they have been found two or three times in the last fifty
years. This haphazard occurrence is because these free-swimming
jellyfish, like many of their relatives, do not come from other jellyfish
but from small plant-like creatures, called hydroids, which live
permanently attached to underwater objects. These hydroids, in turn,
develop from the eggs of jellyfish and this process is called "alternation
of generations".

The commonest and best known freshwater relatives are the little
Hydras: simple sac-like animals that live attached to submerged plants,
sticks and stones, or cling to the underside of the surface film of water,
or sometimes float free. When expanded, each looks like a bit of thread,
a half-inch or an inch long, with a tiny sticky foot on one end and the
other end frayed out. When disturbed, it contracts into a speck of jelly
the size of a pinhead. The frayed end, dangling lazily in the water, is
really a circlet of 6 or 8 slender arms, or tentacles, around the mouth
opening. They are used in capturing smaller food animals and have
special stinging cells which explode at the slightest touch, paralyzing
the victim with poisoned darts. The other arms then aid in holding the
prey and cramming it through the mouth into the capacious central
cavity. There the water flea, tiny worm, young insect or baby fish is
digested and the useless parts cast out through the mouth. A hydra has
no eyes, ears or brain -- only a vague net of nerves which cause the
animal to expand or contract. It travels by gliding slowly along a
surface, or by using its tentacles to loop along like a "measuring
worm"', or by turning "slow motion handsprings".

Eight kinds of hydras are widely distributed over the United States. One
is bright green because of an alga that lives in its body, two are
brownish, and the other five range from pinkish-gray to orange-red.
Each has two methods of reproduction: by buds and by eggs, usually at
different seasons. A bud starts as a small' pouch on the side of the sac,
develops a mouth, and finally breaks loose from the parent. The eggs,
produced one at a time, hatch and grow into new hydras.

Jelly fish salad is a common Chinese delicacy. If it's done well, it's a little tangy and spicy. The texture should be a little chewy and a little crunchy at the same time. It's a little like the cartilage at the bottom of the breast bone on a chicken that some people like.
