Re: Lemon
Looks like a really huge orange peel nudibranch. They are supposed to be edible but I think I would pass on that.

Re: Lemon
Brought them to the surface to take a picture and to eat them there so good...Hard to take pictures of them when your getting towed 2.2 mph on a sled...There were lots down there along w/king crab..

As a southerner, I can confirm that deep frying makes everything taste better. As does gravy.kdupreez wrote:Interesting, How do you prepare them? deep fryin? No offense, but they dont look super appetizing..

Re: Lemon
Actually, this species is regarded as a delicacy in the Russian far East, where it's called "Tochni". If Dave and his family eat them up in Alaska, more power to them. I personally wouldn't want to munch on one, but to each his own! I'm curious, though, if the taste is anything like escargo, which I actually have enjoyed previously.Nwbrewer wrote:Excuse me?

What's it taste like, brother?

Re: Lemon
Tochni - I have heard that native peoples of the regions did indeed eat them. Can't confirm that, and I'm guessing that I probably wouldn't get too excited about the flavor.Nwbrewer wrote:Excuse me? Did you say you eat them?
Although I wouldn't eat a sea cucumber either, and tens of thousands of people do.

I have tried urchin, moon snail and I think a 'sea squirt', but never a nudibranch.
