Might just be me, Zia, but those look harrassed - really harrassed. I think you should run.

| Yes, Clay is right but Cassiopia andromeda are found in the Indo-Pacific. But Zia seems to be able to find fish when no one else on the planet can, so why not an exotic jellyfish in his canal. |

| Thanks for the info. I've never seen those before. There were three or four laying in the grass next to my dock. Used a pair of litter grippers to pick it up take the picture and put it back. Glad I did. Reading about it they said they do sting |

Yes , becky, an awesome idea except - picture me, an pb&j connoisseur, taking a bite of a pb&jf , and the jelly fish squirts out into someone's lap.

I looked into edibility last night and ended up watching a catch and cook video. You can eat 'em, at least some kinds. It sounds like mushrooms, you don't want to eat the wrong kind. The dome of a cabbagehead jelly aka cannonball jellyfish is even an export to Asia. Most describe it as crunchy. Not sure if I would try it on my own, but good to know if I ever get stranded - you know, dropped off on a spoil island by my "buddies" and they don't come back.

If you've ever seen The Late Late Show with James Corden, he does this awesome game with celebrities from time to time filled with a rotating table of extremely exotic - but still edible - foods like crickets, bull's penis, cow tongue, etc...Jellyfish has been one of the option several times. It's called "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts" and they take turn asking each other questions they probably don't want to answer. If they don't answer, they must eat the thing in front of them. Of course they haven't played it much in 2020 with 'Rona, but I will be excited to see it back in its original format. YouTube has all of the challenges he's hosted to date. But I digress...
So yes, some types of jellyfish must be edible, but I haven't a clue which ones, how to prepare it, or what it tastes like. Sounds like a super-Japanese/Asian thing. On the show it appeared to be a bowl full of thinly-sliced pieces of the "hoods" of the jellies (like sushi), as I'm sure tentacles are toxic and have to be removed, somehow. I'm going to need to see these videos about cooking them now.
I wonder if I ask the ladies at the HEB Sushi station about it if they know how to make it or can make it special order.

Maybe that's where they got the nickname 'cabbageheads'. Not that they look like floating, boiled cabbages, but that they taste like them to someone on a stranded beach that decided to throw one on a fire one night.
