Echizen kurage!
Nomura's Jellyfish
This monster-sized jellyfish is about six feet (1.83 meters) in diameter (around) and weigh more than 450 pounds (204 kilos). That's more or less the weight of 5 children! They can poison fish, sting humans and have even been known to disable nuclear power stations by blocking the seawater pumps used to cool the reactors. The larger specimens could destroy the nets while the fish caught alongside them would be left slimy and inedible (cannot be eaten).
What's being done: A company called Tango Jersey Dairy has even come up with a “slightly chewy” vanilla and jellyfish ice cream, which is created by soaking diced cubes of Echizen kurage in milk. Eeeww?
Can't beat them? Eat them!!
