Jellyfish tastes OK. It's more a texture than a flavor. I have no idea which species I've been served. Why, yes, I do live in eastern Asia where something trying to be inedible to humans is taken as a personal affront.
jellyfish go to hell

Cannonball jellyfish is the most likely culprit for edible jellyfish.
In case anyone is curious.

That’s right, seasoned jellyfish tastes pretty nice.

Sea cucumbers? Salted salmon eggs in ovaries? Fermented squid guts? Fish jizz? GET IN MY BELLY!

I had sea cucumber for the first time the other night (along with 鮟肝 (ankimo - monkfish liver). Sea cucumber flavor was fine but texture wasn't my favorite (I also don't like crunching on cartelige). Ankimo was smooth and delicious. Shiokara is also great. Shirako (your fish jizz) is great battered and fried, but I've never had the guts to try it raw.

I agree, mostly because we know what happens after exploration.

I guess regular bugs have way less need of muscle than swimming bugs. I have eaten crickets in a few different ways, and they never taste anything like shrimp. ALso, living in salt water pre-seasons the flesh maybe. That is my working theory.

Swimming bugs are much bigger and thus it’s much easier to peel away their exoskeleton and intestines. Sea water definitely does have a seasoning effect, though, as seen with fresh water fish vs. ocean fish.
SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Your words are true. I grew up catching fresh freshwater fish, but I would rather eat saltwater fish fresh or no.

It sounds like you’ve already solved it, just force them to live in salt water and I feel like you might be halfway there.

I fed some crickets oranges before taking them to a demonstration speech I was giving for speech class. My demonstration was on making “crispy critters” which are rice crispy treats with dry roasted crickets. As an opener, I ate a live cricket (new personal fears of parasites would stop me from doing this now). The cricket tasted just like orange candy, because he had a belly full of oranges. It was better than my dry roasted crickets. I ate a cricket live out of the yard and it tasted like grass. They are what they eat. Even so, when you cook them, they dry up to the point that you are just eating their shells mostly.
The muscle is the major part. We need to figure out how to make them get major gains. Little barbells maybe.

There might be some complications in the living part

I think the reason why water bugs taste way better is because they have less exoskeleton. Which they don’t need because they don’t need to carry their own weight, since the water carries most of it.

Are you sure about that? Water also has a pressure that pushes against the animal.

Lobster and shrimp have feelings too 😟

One thing I think about regularly when seeing the ocean is that we’re all fine with swimming in a body of water that has dead people in it. All the oceans are connected and the probability that there is at least one dead person in it at any given time is extremely high if not outright 1. And yet I don’t think there are many people who won’t enter an ocean because there are dead people in it. Yet there won’t be many people who will willingly enter a small pool with a bloated, rotting body in it just to go for a swim. So somewhere between these two scenarios is the threshold where you’re fine with the dead body to water or space ratio.

We breathe the same air that dead people are in, and walk on the same ground that dead people are in, so what’s your point?

Apparently the special red paint on the bottom of every single boat is toxic to the ocean. Also, lots of boats have their exhaust systems pumped directly into the ocean.
Also, I heard that if you dumped a lot of iron dust into the ocean it would create algae blooms and eventually help it take up more carbon. So whilst it would initially be destabilising it could do good in the long term.
