I was unknowingly served this soup at a company party once, I thought it was a bowl of Clagg ( glue) paste? When I said "this isn't nice" I was then told it's an expensive delicacy? Well I couldn't eat it. But the Boss was so proud of himself...I just chewed on something else for 10 minutes only to be told it was jelly fish, really why? Do people eat it. I like fish and chips, just not tiger parts, bats, rats....rhinos bits, elephant bits. It's the people who pay for it that drives the market. If you are hungry that hungry go to a convenient store.

What is wrong with jelly fish? They are in no danger of extinction.

Chinese fishermen do that regularly, as the demand for shark fins is huge.

And they will never get punished by the Chinese govnment.
