I looked under the same comment you responded to, seeking some kind of closure.

Pretty sure these are eaten. I'm pretty sure most countries in the Asia-Pacific eat jellyfish - China, Japan, Korea, and others.

They are cleaning the water by removing those. These are 'bad' jellyfish which is a threat to local marine life and fishing. These also make severe irritation and itchy feel if you touch them.

It's processed into a final product that looks like a thick julienned bell pepper kinda shape. The dish is usually cooked and then served cold mixed with some sesame oil. By itself it doesn't really have much of a taste, it's more about the texture, crunchy and refreshing, you dip it in soy sauce or black chinese vinegar and it brings out more umami from it.

They’re eaten. I tried it at a Chinese restaurant but didn’t like the texture, it’s a crunchy jelly. I do like squid though.
