Now, wipe that frown off your face. Admittedly, this is slightly offbeat but taking into account that the world’s food resources are fast depleting, it would perhaps be best to get accustomed to things that are not quite usual. Why jellyfish you ask? Well, these creatures have an uncanny knack of managing to stay alive and multiply rapidly despite changing climatic conditions. In fact, these sea creatures actually thrive in the sea conditions caused by global warming, that is, hotter ocean temperatures. Other types of fish, however, aren’t so lucky and are fast dying out making room for even more jellyfish. Non-poisonous, edible versions of these creatures are an Asian delicacy that is often marinated in salt and potassium alum for several weeks to make them more into a palatable pickle of sorts. However, in a bid to bring this creature to the mainstream food pyramid, a Danish team of researchers have figured out a way to convert the creature’s soft rubbery tentacles to crunchy goodies much faster. In a <a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-02/bs-faj021318.php">press release</a>, Mathias P. Clausen, a postdoctoral fellow at the <keyword id="157242" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="University-of-Southern-Denmark">University of Southern Denmark</keyword> in Odense, Denmark, said, “Using ethanol, we have created jellyfish chips that have a crispy texture and could be of potential gastronomic interest.” They presented this study at the 62nd Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California on 17-21 February. And for all you healthy eaters, for whom nutritional value and calorie count trumps all other aspects of the item, a plateful of jellyfish is happily also quite good for health - constituting about 5% protein and 95% water, they are low in calories and barely have any fat. They are also rich in vitamin B12, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and selenium. So, perhaps it is time to shed inhibitions and embrace this gooey umbrella-shaped aquatic creatures as part of our daily cuisine. In a few years, you may not have a choice but to.

Jellyfish chips might be the most bizarre snack you will ever have

Day after day, my brother, sister, and I would play in the warm surf of the Atlantic Ocean. We met a zoo's worth of marine life during those beach excursions, including clams, crabs, copepods, fish, birds, dolphins, and jellyfish.But there was one common yet fascinating animal we completely overlooked: a weird, rectangular object with a pair of pokey tendrils on either side.<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/martinalonsophotography/30287036161/">Martin Alonso</a>A skate egg case or capsule, also called a devil's purse or mermaid's purse.For years I assumed these were kelp pods or some strange-looking pieces of seaweed.Nope.These black pods are actually the egg cases or capsules of a skate, a flat, funny-looking fish.Skates are related to rays and sharks, and like both they have no bones - only cartilage. As adults, skates have thorny fins on top of their bodies and eat whatever small creatures they can find on the sandy ocean bottom, including shrimp and tiny fish.<a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/fish-skate-reduction-36680374?src=2iQRkp87wzBX_-LkmZVVvg-1-2">Shutterstock</a> "I'm a skate, look at me!" Should you find a fresh skate egg case on a beach, perform this simple experiment - it will blow your mind (and likely freak out squeamish friends and family).First, find a skate egg that is not dried to a crisp. Your best shot is to check the wrack line, where high-tide waves deposit junk from the sea. Spring storms will often rip the egg cases from the seaweed they attach to in deeper waters and wash them ashore.Since these <a href="http://staffweb.itsligo.ie/staff/dcotton/Mermaids_purses.html">egg cases are made of collagen</a>, a protein that takes forever to break down, you're likely to find many more empty ones than fresh ones. As a general rule: the more wet, slimy, bubbly, pliable, and translucent, the better.Once you've got one in hand, grab a smartphone, turn on its LED light, and then move the egg in front of the light. If you're lucky, you will see something like this:<a href="http://davemosher.com">Dave Mosher/Business Insider</a>A skate fish egg case with a light shining through to reveal an embryo and yolk sac.The pink mass is a skate embryo attached to its yolk sac.Depending on the age of the skate egg you've found, you can sometimes see its head or a devilish tail flicking around. You might even see more than one embryo.Dave Remsen, a bioinformaticist and scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, showed me this little guy (or girl) when I visited the lab: "I like to show these to kids and tell them they used to look like that," Remsen told Business Insider. (It's a good <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/31-cringe-worthy-science-jokes-and-puns-2015-11">joke to a scientist</a>, since all embryonic animals <a href="http://images.tutorvista.com/content/organic-evolution/vertebrate-embryos.jpeg">look remarkably similar</a> during early stages of development.)Some shark species also lay egg cases, but those are much rarer to find on a beach, since mother sharks lay them in the deeper ocean.If you don't have an LED light handy, there's a great substitute in the sky: the sun. This video shows what a skate egg case looks like when you hold it up to the light:Some aquatic centers and aquariums go even further.For example, the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco cuts out a panel of the egg case and super-glues on a piece of transparent plastic. That way, visitors can clearly see the embryos inside as they develop:<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/genista/424216639/">Kai Schreiber/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0)</a>A skate egg case with a section removed and a transparent window glued in its place.It can take months for embryos like these to develop, so if you're fortunate enough to find an egg case, give it a good toss back into the ocean.Even if it doesn't hatch, it will at least make a good meal for another sea creature. <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/united-states-map-deadly-wildlife-bears-bees-scorpions-alligators-sharks-2017-4">These maps show where you're most likely to run into American wildlife that could kill you</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video
