Don't try this at home 1. Rhyzostoma is one of the few edible jellyfishes because its diet is a little special and they "don't have" stingers. Is known since decades that the entire family is mostly safe to eat. You can rub against an alive Rhyzostoma without major problems. Other jellyfishes aren't so benign. 2.Jellyfishes are >95% water, this means that if you try to just put it in a frypan with hot oil you will end with a fire in your kitchen. Not different than trowing a water glass into boiling oil. People eat it only after dessicated. 3.Flavor would be less than awesome; Probably not much different than eating agar-agar or everybody would be eating it yet since Rome empire age. The article mentions also the known problem with aluminium salts for processing it. 4. As Rhyzostoma is a filter feeder, often concentrate in rich areas with currents of fresh waters mixing with the seawater. This fresh water can be (is often) contaminated. If there are a lot of Rhyzostomas in some place will be a lot of nutrients (AKA contamination) in that water. But is a solution for overfishing. Sort of.
