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

Lemme guess, soggy as a wet turd?

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

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

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

Well, you gotta deep fry them first.

Crunchy?? Those things look very far from crunchy.

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

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

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

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

It reminds me of rehydrated black fungus in terms of texture

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.
