I ate pickled jellyfish at a restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown. It didn't taste like anything besides pickled; texture-wise, it was sort of like eating tough pieces of animal fat. Chewy and stringy, but it was cold. I found it inoffensive, but I can see why a lot of people would be turned off by it... although personally, I think we should be eating a lot more of it given the massive jellyfish booms that have been occurring.

Especially because of the massive overfishing of other seafood such as Salmon and Lobster
 
Jellyfish is decidedly ordinary. It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste bad. It's just something which is eaten and forgotten about almost immediately.

I don't think most people will forget about eating jellyfish...it's a pretty different dish which most people will remember eating.

What kind of jellyfish can be consumed? I didn't know jellyfish were.

I'm not sure exactly what or how many species are considered edible. Cannonball jellies (Stomolophus meleagris) are a commercial fish off the Eastern Seaboard of the US, especially down in Georgia/Florida area; vast majority of it is exported to East Asia, which is where most commercial jelly fishing and consumption is located.
 
I occasionally eat jellyfish here. The texture is very similar to cartilage; not at all jellylike. I have always assumed I am eating something akin to the floatbladder on a man-o-war, but I have no idea really.

Its very chewy, you know the Vietnamese rice paper? When it gets wet and you eat it, doesn't it remind you of that?
