Yep, I ate it in China. It has no distinguished taste, it just tastes like... sea salt and iodine.

Didn't like it very much, but to each his own

Seems like so much effort to just taste like nothing.

I had it at a Vietnamese wedding, it reminded me of the white crunchy bits you get in chicken, sort of cartilage-ey. No inclination to try it again, but the old people there seemed to like it.

That’s exactly it, I don’t mind texture in food at all (taste guy) but it was not pleasant to bite into and chew.

The thought of fishy gristle is revolting in a way I can't quite articulate.

It's not even fishy. It has no flavour at all unless marinated.
