BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Looking out the window I noticed the fishing boats were much closer in than usual and had long nets out. Looking through my binnoculars I could see that they were scooping up jellyfish. There were lots of boats so they must have been scooping up thousands of them. Most bigger than a large dinner plate. The question is what do they do with them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Jelly fish is really nice, shredded up like pasta and seasoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 What does it taste like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well Ive only had it cold, sort of a chewy noodle but with sort of a squid taste. Sort of. Ive had it at a Chinese resturant in sydney a few times. beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It makes me think of eating snot--that I eat a lot of snot. Come to think of it, haven't eaten a lot of jellyfish either! Now you have me curious and I'll have to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distortedlink Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) My favourite is strawberry jellyfish with ice cream and custard. Edited May 9, 2008 by distortedlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Some jellyfish are used in the cosmetics industry. Others are used for making medicines. The Japanese have come up with a use for mucin and others believe jellyfish collagen can be used to treat some inflammatory diseases. Most importantly of all, our friends the turtles like to chow down on jellyfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 When I lived on the beach south of Hua Hin (Kao Takiab), there was a season when literally thousands of jellyfish came ashore, died on the beach, and sank into the sand. I assume the underground critters eat jellyfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidoriApple Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Jellyfish ror? A-roi-dii Make it to be a spicy Thai Salad.. or eat with Kuay-Tiao.. or with Chinese Food, i guess it is marinated with something oily... i am not sure. Seen many kinds of jellyfish.. I always avoid touching them when go swimming in the sea. especially at Koh Chang...looked cute but a bit scary... coz it's too load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aries27 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) hey how come nobody ever mentioned about jellyfish stings? they are really bad. so painful. we have a lot of them in PH beaches when its summer (or is it when its rainy?) i have always looked at jellyfish negatively because of this. i think in japan (i saw it on television) they pet jellyfish in aquariums... i think they look lovely in there, very graceful swimmers dont you think so? never tasted it... if it tastes anywhere like squid, i would try it...
