 - In some countries, such as Japan, jellyfish are known as a delicacy.
 - In Japan, cured jellyfish are rinsed, cut into strips and served with vinegar as an appetizer.
 - Desalted, ready-to-eat products are also available.
 - Some Fishermen have begun to harvest jellyfish along the southern Atlantic coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico for export to Asia.
 - The dish is often served shredded with a dressing of oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, or as a salad with vegetables.
