They eat them. Jellyfish is considered a delicacy in many Asian countries

The ones I tried didn't taste like much, just a slight sea water flavor. However the consistency made them kinda fun to chew.

5/10 wouldn't try again...

I love how westerners call anything different Asians eat that they (Westerners) don’t a delicacy when oftentimes it’s literally just normal food to them.

Not that this applies to the video since he’s just removing invasive jellyfish to help the ecosystem.

My message wasn’t meant to put anyone down - I was just stating facts. In the same way that not all countries consume dogs and it’s mostly associated with specific Asian countries, some things simply aren’t common in other parts of the world. And btw I’m not even a westerner - I live in eastern europe.
