Sometimes I wonder if there is any kind of marine life that isn’t eaten, and maybe considered a delicacy, somewhere in the world. Even coral is ground up and marketed as a calcium supplement and cancer cure, although the Food and Drug Administration warns us not to believe the hype.
Coral aside, many of the animals at the reef look and sound pretty tasty. Jellyfish implies sweet, while purple-striped jelly suggests extra sweet goodness.
I don’t eat pigs, but might be willing to try porkfish sausage. How about a hogfish bacon, lettuce sea slug and tomtate sandwich? Is that kosher?
Sea cucumber sounded like something that belongs in a salad, until I found out it comes in chocolate chip and cookie dough varieties. Maybe we will never find them in a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, but they must taste better than their cousin, the donkey dung sea cucumber. I mean, they just have to, right?
The candy basslet
looks just like those little striped sucking candies my grandmother
used to keep in her purse. Instead of a fishbowl, keep them in a candy
dish on your coffee table, and watch your guests’ surprised faces when
they reach for one. The peppermint basslet looks like it should be decorating my Christmas tree, or maybe a Christmas tree worm.
An orange icing sponge might be a tasty treat. Just add “cake” at the end, and it’s a dessert. I can wash it down with some tea and honeycomb cowfish.
Come to think of it, even coral calcium might not be so hard to swallow if it came from soft mushroom coral. I like mushrooms.
