Jellyfish a la carte

This summer being the one with the most jellyfish we have ever had, I have thought of some novel ideas in order to tackle the problem.

One of the more fun ones (at least for me as a diver) would be to bring turtles which eat them up and maybe this could boost out diving experience with the extra few turtles swimming around in the bay and our beaches – in my opinion, this would be a nice touch.

The other novel idea I came up with is to eat them. Last week, for example, an article on Europa Press said that a Spanish fishing boat went out after the jellyfish to try and help beach users in Algeciras, and in a space of 2-3 hours they caught about 2 tons of jellyfish, so why not eat them if there are so many out there.

Now the world of Google has opened a new look on this subject: 1^st whether you can actually eat them and of course the next question is can you cook them. As it turns out, you can indeed eat them and there is a whole range of different ways to cook these things, and I seem to have spent many years thinking that the only goal in a jellyfish’ life is to annoy the rest of the fish and the beach goers.

So for anyone out there who is getting annoyed at the jellyfish, here are some ways to cook them:

Sesame Jellyfish. 

Jellyfish Tempura 

And a twist to a British classic: Jellyfish and chips.  

Jellyfish Burger

I am not sure how this would taste but one can only wonder.
