There are many creatures in the ocean that some people consider too exotic and that are rarely found on their dinner plates, even though others regard them as delicacies. Outstanding among these are squid, octopuses, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, starfish, and jellyfish. And, of course, the large marine algae, of which 10,000 different species are found in all parts of the world, form part of the daily diet, primarily in Asia. All these extraordinary forms of life have an intense taste of the sea in which they thrive and are particularly valued for their texture.
