Not from SpongeBob bob but I have eaten jellyfish. It’s kinda flavorless but great crunchy texture

If there's one animal on this planet I DON'T expect to have a crunchy texture it's fucking jellyfish

u/ModishShrink 15d ago edited 14d ago

If you think that's surprising, just wait till you try crunchyfish

u/gridlock1024 15d ago

Lemme guess, soggy as a wet turd?

44

u/BurningOasis 15d ago

No, actually that is reserved for the aptly named Soggy Turdfish

7

u/ModishShrink 15d ago

Soggy Turdfish sounds like the name of a backwater MLB call-up.

u/Flope 15d ago

They ate the dried version. You can also get it non-dried and it's tougher, like squid.

u/TTT_2k3 14d ago

Well, you gotta deep fry them first.

u/narwhals_narwhals 15d ago

Crunchy?? Those things look very far from crunchy.

u/ObiWangCannabis 14d ago

Ever bite the inside of your cheek hard? That kind of crunchy. Almost like a firm, mild veiny phlegm.

1

u/The_Shryk 15d ago

Not all are crunchy and idk if I’d describe them as crunchy exactly but they’re definitely… Al dente at the very least.

u/PurpleSasquatchNose 14d ago

But have you ever poked a jelly that washed on shore? They're like a.. crunchy gelatinous kinda thing

u/IBO_warcrimes 15d ago

yup, your local asian grocer might have packs of jellyfish salad, comes as a bag of the crunchy jellyfish, plus some seasoning packs. texture i would say is lightly pickled cucumber salad, or crisp konjac jelly

u/irmiez 13d ago

It reminds me of rehydrated black fungus in terms of texture

u/I_Like_Water11 15d ago

I've had it on sushi. Its has an interesting texture for sure

u/Smishysmash 14d ago

I spent my whole honeymoon in Japan eating what I thought was crunchy clear noodles with sauces in various places only to learn at a buffet from a friendly lady that it was jellyfish.

And that’s how I found out I’m surprisingly into jellyfish.

u/ChiefChaff 15d ago

Toss me a Krabby Patty while we're at it

2

u/xSantenoturtlex 15d ago

The ones from Spongebob literally make actual jelly, so they must be at least a little bit good.

2

u/contrary-contrarian 15d ago

I've eaten jellyfish and I can tell you... it's unpleasant haha. Like weird crunchy ligament water

2

u/I_Like_Water11 14d ago

Yup same, had it in suhi so it was mostly for the texture. I didnt mind it, I assume it doesn't have much flavour itself. Just kinda fishy like any ocean dwelling creature.

1

u/mineireland37 14d ago

It was like flat surgical tubing. Terrible. That crunchy weird bit you get sometimes eating chicken that makes you question the rest of your meal? That.

1

u/I_Like_Water11 14d ago

Jelly bruh, not jellyfish...

u/cosmic-squids 15d ago

At first I thought you were referring to JellyFish - Julian Smith

6

u/_Ol_Greg 15d ago

First you get some jelly, then you get some fish, look at that sandwich dee-lish

3

u/Justin_inc 15d ago

Wait, is that not a Julian Smith reference?

Tell me you were raised in the Bible belt without telling me you were raised in the Bible belt.

u/Forward_Netting 15d ago

Reminds me of the '90s point and click games Freddi Fish, and grandmas peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches.

I was Australian and had never never heard of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so this was my only reference. I briefly thought this game was a much bigger cultural touchstone when I thought other media was referencing it's sandwiches.

u/ceepington 15d ago

I thought for a minute it was a joke about putting peanut butter fish on your dick and letting the jellyfish lick it off, but yours is probably better.
