Delicious Giant Jellyfish
I know Jon previously wrote about the swarms giant jellyfish that invade the seas around Japan, but I found a few incredible photographs I though I’d share. These huge nomura’s jellyfish can grow up to 2m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter and weigh up to 200kgs (440 lbs). In the past year, numbers of these jelly fish have increased one hundred times. To reduce the numbers of these huge jellyfish the government of Japan has formed a committee. One solution: eat them.

You can buy it in most supermarkets here; in Japanese jellyfish is called ‘kurage’. Generally it comes thinly sliced and dressed with soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds and crushed, dried red chillies. It is quite delicious and the texture is rather unique.
Sounds great!
