Jellyfish tastes OK. It's more a texture than a flavor. I have no idea which species I've been served. Why, yes, I do live in eastern Asia where something trying to be inedible to humans is taken as a personal affront.
This is Dungeon Meshi lol.
Sea cucumbers? Salted salmon eggs in ovaries? Fermented squid guts? Fish jizz? GET IN MY BELLY!
I had sea cucumber for the first time the other night (along with 鮟肝 (ankimo - monkfish liver). Sea cucumber flavor was fine but texture wasn't my favorite (I also don't like crunching on cartelige). Ankimo was smooth and delicious. Shiokara is also great. Shirako (your fish jizz) is great battered and fried, but I've never had the guts to try it raw.
Cannonball jellyfish is the most likely culprit for edible jellyfish.
In case anyone is curious.
And it is damn good in a salad.
That's right, seasoned jellyfish tastes pretty nice.
