https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelia_aurita Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the familyUlmaridae.[1][2] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling;[3] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
The jellyfish is almost entirely translucent, usually about 25–40 cm (10–16 in) in diameter, and can be recognized by its four horseshoe-shaped gonads, easily seen through the top of the bell. It feeds by collecting medusae, plankton, and mollusks with its tentacles, and bringing them into its body for digestion. It is capable of only limited motion, and drifts with the current, even when swimming.
I can't imagine wanting to eat it. It's gelatinous goo, mostly water.

I wouldn't want to eat it either, but I think some jellyfish are considered delicacy in Japan
Edible or not, I certainly wouldn't eat a dead one that washed up on a beach! Its already rotting!
Agreed... nah pass on the dead rotted animal, no matter what species :P
For those who have never had jellyfish, it's quite good. It's a common dish in Chinese restaurants. It's purely for the texture... kinda crunchy with a distinct mild taste. It's usually served cold with sesame oil and I think some sort of vinegar dressing.
The thing is this... with the oceans / seas getting warmer, our fish stock being overfished, it's time for us to consider laying off the Tuna, Cod, Halibut, etc and start eating the super plentiful species like jellyfish, dogfish (a very abundant shark), etc.
In some areas because of warmer water, overfishing.. .the only thing in super abundance are jellyfish... so eat up!
How about those green seaweed in my picture? Are they edible? They remind me of seaweed I saw in Korean markets.
The same institution in that link could probably tell you about edible marine algae OP.
