There seems to be great gastonomical potential to this new preparation method for jellyfish. There is a good feel in the mouth and an aesthetic appearance to dried jellyfish. The jellyfish tastes pretty good this way and as an added advantage the processing is a lot faster than via the traditional Asian way.
There’s a lot of jellyfish around the world. When there are too many of them around many fisherman become annoyed when there are many of them caught in their nets. Turning jellyfish into a desirable food source in the West like it has been in Asia would turn them into a good catch for more fisherman worldwide.
