Shari strip out the 4 lengths of white muscle meat just under the skin, stir fry in butter and garlic. Tender and delicious. I think the entire
animal dried then reconstituted for soup is an acquired Oriental taste. |
The wife's recipe is simple. Skin it, gut it, pick the tender sections, Rub them in generous supply of salt, wash them off, pour boiling water for
half a minute, dice them to 1 inch by half inch, vinegar, chopped tomatoes and onions, salt, pepper . . . A few bottles of Pacifico, yum!!!

No cooking, preferably live sea cucumbers, rawish. It's sea cucumber salad. The half-minute douse of boiled water is it. And I stand corrected, the
wife says lime, not vinegar. What do I know:-)

so you skin it before you pour the boiling water over it? I have a hard time figuring out how to skin the slippery, slimy little booger...do you cut
it in half lengthwise and sort of cut the skin off like a fish? I'm gonna get one and try this because I simply cant imagine any seafood I dont
like...even better if I can eat it raw.

I'm waiting for Shari's verdict on these sea cucumbers. Anybody that enjoys fish eyeballs has a taste for seafood. The eyeballs of most of the fish I catch aren't worth digging out and
eating, way smaller than grapes.

I'm waiting to try jellyfish...does anyone know if the ones I posted a photo of are OK to munch on? I did only see one seagull picking at one so I'm a
little leary...if I see birds or animals eating something, I'll usually try it...I'll try most anything once!

I have no idea of what the Korean jelly fish that I was served in a Chinese restaurant there looked like before it was put on my plate. It was just
cut in strips like bacon and served with seaweed and a mystery dipping sauce to dip it in. A real b*#*h to pick up with chop sticks 
The one in your picture is a Cannonball jellyfish:
Unlike typical jellyfish the cannonball is a strong swimmer with a compact, solid body and few stinging tentacles. The Latin name for the cannonball,
Stomolophus meleagris, is very descriptive of its lifestyle and means "many mouthed hunter." The cannonball feeds and swims by pumping water with a
gelatinous bell over the sticky folds of its arms trapping larval stages of oysters, clams, and a variety of crustaceans. This sticky mucus is passed
to numerous openings among the arms that lead to its mouth. It is abundant along Florida's northern Gulf of Mexico and off the northern Atlantic
Coast, occurring in groups of millions.
The cannonball has great potential value as a food item in the world market. The most important fact about the protein in the cannonball jellyfish is
the collagen it contains. Our bodies need collagen to build cell tissue, cartilage, teeth and bones. Scientific research continues on collagen and its
medical potential. For over a thousand years, Asians have been eating jellyfish for medicinal reasons to treat high blood pressure, arthritis,
bronchitis and other diseases. The cannonball jellyfish is an ideal diet food because it is low in fat, cholesterol and calories.
