The strange creature in the photo below is called the Monk Hat Jellyfish, also known as the Portuguese battleship Jellyfish.
Although it is called "jellyfish" and looks like jellyfish, it is not a real jellyfish, but a biome containing hydra bodies and jellyfish.
In simple terms,
The head and tentacles of the monk cap jellyfish belong to two creatures, just living together in a partnership...
Although the monk's cap jellyfish is gorgeous, its tentacles are highly toxic, causing severe pain when it comes into contact with the skin, and leaving whip-like red scars that may last for two or three days before they completely subside.
Even more frightening, the venom of the monk cap jellyfish can spread to the lymph nodes, causing symptoms similar to allergic reactions, leading to difficulty breathing, tracheal obstruction and even shock.
Although the probability is low, it can be life-threatening.
And even if the monk cap jellyfish washes up on the shore to die, its tentacles can remain toxic for days as long as it's wet enough nearby.
Many experts have also warned many times that if you see this "beautiful balloon"-like creature on the beach, do not pick it up or touch it.
However, it is such a poisonous creature that cannot be touched, and some people want to eat it into their stomachs and taste what it tastes like.

Recently, the little brother heard from there that although the monk cap jellyfish is poisonous, it tastes unusually delicious. So he decided to try it for himself...
The little brother first found a beach full of monk hat jellyfish,
Put on gloves and start collecting the "deflated balloons" that washed ashore,
To experience the toxicity of monk cap jellyfish,
The little brother tried to lift the part of the "monk's hat" with his bare hands, there was no problem,
Then he gently touched the tentacles of the monk's cap jellyfish...
The whole person was like being caught on fire, jumping up violently, screaming that it hurt.
After experiencing the toxicity with his own hands, the little brother continued to collect for a while, and after a while, he returned home with a basin full of monk's hat jellyfish.
After cleaning, the little brother put the almost transparent jellyfish in the pot to heat,
The jellyfish began to shrink and even melt into the soup.
After the water boiled, the little brother scooped a spoonful and tasted it, indicating that there was a faint scallop flavor in the soup, which was not difficult to drink, but the "delicious" said by others was still a lot worse.
Since the soup doesn't taste much, try the leftover "jellyfish meat" boiled.
The little brother fished out the leftover residue,
I added some sake to remove the fishy, then put cucumbers, soy sauce and salt, and made a cold coleslaw monk hat jellyfish...
After tasting, the little brother finally exclaimed amazingly:
The part of the monk's hat becomes very crisp after boiling, and the tentacle part is like seaweed, full of the flavor of the sea - just like ordinary jellyfish!
After risking my life for most of the day, I finally ate a bowl of jellyfish...
Fortunately, people are fine, and there are no other requirements.
At the end of the video, the little brother warned the audience not to imitate his behavior at will. During the shooting, a health expert was always on the side to observe his state to prevent any accidents.
Other ocean bloggers also said that the little brother is lucky if he is fine.
If the jellyfish is not cooked and the protein in the body is not completely denatured, a part of the toxin will remain, posing a danger to the eater.
During cooking, humans can also inhale toxic substances carried in water vapor at any time, if not fatal, at least for a while...
But in fact, this "little poison" may not really be put in the eyes of the little brother,
After all, what he usually eats is definitely a top curiosity:

fried wild cockroaches,
fried rotten and smelly radiant fish,
Undigested small octopus skewers spit out by large octopuses,
fried slugs,
Fried highly poisonous red-backed spider,
Early summer game platter...
In this way, the little brother eating a highly toxic jellyfish can only be said to be a normal operation...
